A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of

the U-shaped tube until the vertical height of the water column is 25.0 cm.
(a) What is the gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface?
(b) Calculate the vertical distance h from the top of the mercury in the right-hand arm of the tube to the top of the water in the left-hand arm.

Answer:

a) P=2450\ Pa

b) \delta h=23.162\ cm

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m

a)

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

P=\rho_w.g.h_w

we've the density of the water =1000\ kg.m^{-3}

P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25

P=2450\ Pa

b)

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m

1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m

h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

\delta h=h_w-h_m

\delta h=25-1.838

\delta h=23.162\ cm

Equal masses of he and ne are placed in a sealed container. What is the partial pressure of he if the total pressure in the cont
EastWind [94]

Answer:

6 atm.

Explanation:

Let the mass of both be m

Then moles of He = m/ 4

Moles of Ne = m/ 20

mole fraction of He = Moles of He/ Total moles = m/4/ (m/4 + m/20) = 0.25 m/0.3m = 0.83

Pressure of He = Mole fraction×total pressure = 0.83 × 6 atm = 5 atm

which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two abject which are in thermal equilib
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The law zero of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The law zero of thermodynamics, which tells us that heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to another body with lower temperature, when the heat transfer is zero, it is said that the two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, their temperatures are equal

Calculate the average value of an AC signal with a peak amplitude of 10V and a frequency of 10 kHz.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

V(average)=6.37 V

Explanation:

Given Data

Peak Voltage=10V

Frequency=10 kHZ

To Find

Average Voltage

Solution

For this first we need to find Voltage peak to peak

So

Voltage (peak to peak)= 2× voltage peak

Voltage (peak to peak)= 2×10

Voltage (peak to peak)= 20 V

Now from Voltage (peak to peak) formula we can find the Average Voltage

So

Voltage (peak to peak)=π×V(average)

V(average)=Voltage (peak to peak)/π

V(average)=20/3.14

V(average)=6.37 V

A student thinks that any real vibration must be damped. Is the student correct? If so, give convincing reasoning. If not, give
Stels [109]

Answer:

Yes the student is correct

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorderliness) of an isolated system always increases

Therefore, whereby energy is not supplied to maintain the orderly oscillatory motion with constant amplitude, the amplitude of the system is bound to reduce with time that is the vibration of the system must be damped
