Answer:
F_scale = 20.18 N
Explanation:
The scale reading corresponds to two factors, the first the weight of the water in the container and the second the force of the liquid that is falling at the moment of reading.
* Let's find the amount of liquid in the container for a time of t = 2.93 s
Let's use a direct proportion rule. If 0.373 l falls in one second at t = 2.93 s, how many liters are there
V_{water} = 2.93 s (0.373 l / 1s) = 1.09 l
V_{water} = 1.09 10⁻³ m³
the amount of water is
ρ = m / V
m = ρ V
m = 1000 1.09 10⁻³
m = 1.09 kg
so the weight of the liquid in the container for this time is
W = mg
W = 1.09 9.8
W = 10.68 N
* Let's look for the force of the falling jet
Let's use Bernoulli's equation, where the subscript 1 is for the container and the subscript 2 is for the water at a height h
P₁ + 1/2 ρ g v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + 1/2 ρ g v₂² + ρ g y₂
In this case, the water falls freely, so the external pressure is atmospheric.
P₂ = P_{atm}
since they indicate that the water falls, we assume that its initial velocity is zero v₂ = 0
let's use kinematics to find the speed of a drop when it reaches the container y = 0
v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)
v =
let's calculate
v = √(2 9.8 40.5)
v = 28.17 m / s
this is the speed in the container v₁ = 28.17 m / s
the height from where it falls is y₂ = 40.5 and reaches the container y₁ = 0
we substitute in Bernoulli's equation
P₁ +1/2 ρ g v₁² + 0 = P_{atm} + 0 + ρ g y₂
P₁ + ½ ρ g v₁² = P_{atm} + ρ g y₂
P₁ = P_{atm} + ρ g y₂ - ½ ρ g v₁²
P₁ = 1 10⁵ + 1000 9.8 40.5 - ½ 1000 28.17²
P₁ = 1 10⁵ + 3.97 10⁵ - 3.69 10⁵
P₁ = 1.28 10⁵ Pa
The definition of Pressure is
P = F / A
F = P A
We must suppose a time to carry out the reading suppose an average time of the modern equipment t = 0.1 s, in this time how much is now arriving
m₂ = 0.373 0.2 = 0.0746 l = 0.0746 10⁻³ m³
the volume is V = A l
if the length of l = 1 m
A = 0.0746 10⁻³ m³ = 7.45 10⁻⁵ m²
the force of this jet is
F = P A
F = 1.28 10⁵ 7.46 10⁻⁵
F = 9.5 N
with these data let's use the equilibrium equation
F_ scale -W - F = 0
F_scale = W + F
F_scale = 10.682 + 9.5
F_scale = 20.18 N
In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).
When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.
