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.

A 55 kg track and field athlete has an average power output of 5.4 kW during the 200 meter dash. How quickly did she finish the
olga_2 [115]

The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 61° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
dsp73

Answer:

Highest point reached  = 3.37 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity, = 7.1 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = 7.1 sin 61 = 6.21 m/s

Consider the vertical motion of skateboarder,

We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

          Initial velocity, u = 6.21 m/s

          Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

          Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

         Substituting

                       v² = u² + 2as

                       0² = 6.21² + 2 x -9.81 x s

                       s = 1.97 m

So from ramp the position it goes up by 1.97 m

       Highest point reached = 1.97 + 1.4 = 3.37 m
