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

of mercury to record the standard pressure at sea level, what would be the height of that barometer? assume that the mercury barometer is 76 centimeters, or 29.92 inches, long (this is the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level).

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=  13.5 \times 0.76 cm  = 10.26 meter

A piano mover raises a 1000-n piano at a constant speed using a very light rope in a frictionless pulley system, as shown in the
Rina8888 [55]

Here As we can see the figure that the end of the rope is pulled by some force F

Now as we can see that Piano is connected by a pulley which is passing over the pulley so effectively net force on the piano upwards will be 2F as it is connected by 2 ropes by the pulley

Now for constant velocity of the piano we will say

2F - mg = ma

since velocity is constant so acceleration must be ZERO

so here we have

2F - mg = 0

as we know here that

mg = 1000 N

so we will have

2F - 1000 = 0

F = 500 N

so here force must be 500 N

A point charge is placed 3m from a 4uc charge what is the strength of the electric field on the point charge at this distance ro
Vlada [557]

The strength of the electric field on the point charge at this distance will be 4000 V/m.

<h3>What is the strength of the electric field?</h3>

The strength of the electric field is the ratio of electric force per unit charge.

The given data in the problem is;

Qis the unit charge = 4.0 × 10⁻⁶ C

E is the strength of the electric field

R is the distance from point charge = 3 m

The strength of the electric field is;

\rm E = \frac{KQ}{R^2} \\\\ \rm E = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 4 \times 10^{-6} \ C}{3^2} \\\\ E= 4000 V/m

Hence, the strength of the electric field on the point charge at this distance will be 4000 V/m.

To learn more about the strength of the electric field refer to the link;
