An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown

liquid is 1.5 m and the depth of the oil(specificweight=8.5kN/m3)floating on top is 5.0 m. A pressure gage connected to the bottom of the tank reads 65 kPa. What is the specific gravity of the unknown liquid?

Answer:

The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from

P_{bot}=\gamma_{oil}h_1 + \gamma_{unk}h_2,

where h_1 and h_2 are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for \gamma_{unk}, we have

\gamma_{unk} = \frac{P_{bot} - \gamma_{oil}h_1}{h_2} = \frac{65\frac{kN}{m^2} - 8.5\frac{kN}{m^3}\times 5m}{1.5m} = \mathbf{15 \frac{kN}{m^3}}.

Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.

Un bloque de 25 n se encuentra suspendido por un hilo al techo vitamina la tensión que aparece en el hilo
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T = 25 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A 25 n block is suspended by a wire from the ceiling vitamin the tension that appears in the wire ?"

Weight of the block, W = 25 N

Weight of a body acts in downward direction and tension acts in upward direction. It would mean that,

Tension = weight of the block

T = mg

T = 25 N

Hence, the tension in the wire is 25 N.

A power plant running at 39 % efficiency generates 330 MW of electric power. Part A At what rate (in MW) is heat energy exhauste
marusya05 [52]

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

By definition of energy efficiency, we derive an expression for the energy rate exhausted to the river (Q_{out}), in megawatts:

Q_{out} = Q_{in} - W

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{\eta}-1 \right)\cdot W(1)

Where:

  • \eta - Efficiency.
  • W - Electric power, in megawatts.

If we know that \eta = 0.39 and W = 330\,MW, then the energy rate exhausted to the river is:

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{0.39}-1 \right)\cdot (330\,MW)

Q_{out} = 516.154\,MW

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.
