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

What is the intensity of a sound with a sound intensity level (SIL) 67 dB, in units of W/m^2?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

Explanation:

We have expression for sound intensity level (SIL),

              L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )

Here we need to find the intensity of sound (I).

               L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )\\\\log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )=0.1L\\\\\frac{I}{I_0}=10^{0.1L}\\\\I=I_010^{0.1L}

Substituting

          L = 67 dB and I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m² in the equation

          I=I_010^{0.1L}=10^{-12}\times 10^{0.1\times 65}\\\\I_0=10^{-12}\times 10^{6.5}=10^{-5.5}=3.16\times 10^{-6}W/m^2

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

A train moving west with an initial velocity of 20 m/s accelerates at 4 m/s' for 10 secon
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Distance of 400m.

Explanation:

Use your kinematics equation to solve for distance (we can use kinematics b/c acceleration is constant).

d = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2 at^2

d = (20 x 10) + 1/2 (4) (10)^2

d = 200 + 200

d = 400 m

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total di
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F\alphae

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
