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.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Q=7.9\times 10^{-10}\ C

Explanation:

Given that

V= 12 V

K=3

d= 2 mm

Area=5.00 $ 10#3 m2

Assume that

$ = Multiple sign

# = Negative sign

A=5\times 10^{-3}\ m^2

We Capacitance given as

For air

C_1=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}

C_1=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}

C_1=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{2\times 10^{-3}}

C_1=2.2\times 10^{-11}\ F

C_2=\dfrac{K\varepsilon _oA}{d}

C_2=\dfrac{3\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{2\times 10^{-3}}\ F

C_2=6.6\times 10^{-11}\ F

Net capacitance

C=C₁+C₂

C=8.8\times 10^{-11}\ F

We know that charge Q given as

Q= C V

Q=12\times 6.6\times 10^{-11}\ C

Q=7.9\times 10^{-10}\ C

Stolb23 [73]

Since she is testing where the plant would grow best, the type, height and amount of water does not help the original question. Only moving the plants will help her determine where to plant the basil plants. Option B. the location of the plants
