The density of mercury is 13.5 times greater than the density of water. if you were to build a barometer that used water instead
1 answer:
Answer:
Height of water column 10.26 m
Explanation:
Given data;
Mercury density is 13.5 times higher than water density.
Mercury barometer 76 cm or 29.92 inches
we know that the mercury column is balanced by the pressure of air in mercury barometer
we know also standard atmospheric is equivalent to 29.92 inches of mercury
Height of water column must be

A student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression :
Where
m = 7 kg
So, the correct step for obtaining a common denominator for the two fractions in the expression in solving for a is (a) and the value of a is :
Hence, the correct option is (a).
The thermal expansion of the materials allows to find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is Δy = 3.48 cm
given paramers
* Bimetallic brass / steel tape
* Initial temperature, room temperature T = 20ºC
* Final temperature, boiling water = 100ºC
* initial length L₀ = 222mm (1cm / 10mm) = 22.2cm
* thickness of bimetallic tape e = 0.036 inch (2.54 cm/1 inch) = 0.0914 cm
to find
* perpendicular deviation or deflection (Δy)
Thermal expansion is the phenomenon of change in the length of a body due to the change in temperature, due to the increase in the length of the atomic and molecular bonds, macroscopically it is described by
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT
ΔL and ΔT are the variation of the length and temperature respectively, L₀ is the initial length and α the coefficient of expansion ends.
In this case we have a strip formed by two materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion,
Brass α_{brass} = 19 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹
Steel α_{steel} = 11 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹
In the attached we can see a diagram of the process, as the temperature increases, the material with greater thermal expansion lengthens more, so the system must curve towards the center of the material with less
thermal expansion. Let's find the length of the strip for each material
brass L_{f brass} - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT
Steel L_{f steel} - L₀ = \alpha_{steel} L₀ ΔT
Note that the initial length is the same for the two materials and that the strip is in thermal equilibrium at room temperature.
If we assume that we have an arc of circumference, we can write the length of the arc
θ = L / r
where θ is the angle in radines, L the length of the arc and r the radius of curvature, let's write this equation for each material
brass L_{f \ brass} =θ r₁
steel L_{f \ steel} = θ r₂
we substitute in our equations
θ r₁ - L₀ = α_{brass} L₀ ΔT
θ r₂ - L₀ = α_{steel} L₀ ΔT
let's subtract the two equations
θ (r₁- r₂) = L₀ ΔT (α_{brass} - α_{steel})
the thickness of the strip is
e = r₁ -r₂
θ =
we calculate
θ =
θ = 0.155 rad
Let's use trigonometry to find the perpendicular deflection
tan θ = Δy / L₀
Δy = L₀ tan θ
Δy = 22.2 tan 0.155
Δy = 3.48 cm
Using the thematic expansion of the two materials we find the deflection of the bimetallist strip is 3.38 cm
