Mercury is added to a cylindrical container to a depth d and then the rest of the cylinder is filled with water. If the cylinder
jonny [76]

Answer:

0.10839 m

Explanation:

P_1 = Atmospheric pressure = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P = Total pressure at bottom of mecury = 1.2 atm

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = d = Depth of mercury

\rho_m = Density of mercury = 1.36\times 10^4\ kg/m^3

\rho_w = Density of water = 1000\ kg/m^3

Pressure at the bottom is of the cylinder is given by

P_2=P_1+\rho_wgh\\\Rightarrow P_2=101325+1000\times 9.81(0.7-d)

Pressure at the bottom of mercury is

P=P_2+\rho_mgh\\\Rightarrow 1.2\times 101325=101325+1000\times 9.81(0.7-d)+1.36\times 10^4\times 9.81\times d\\\Rightarrow 1.2\times 101325=123606d+108192\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1.2\times 101325-108192}{123606}\\\Rightarrow d=0.10839\ m

The depth of the mercury is 0.10839 m

Photosynthesis transforms molecules of water and carbon dioxide into Molecules of?
brilliants [131]
Into molecules of sugar and oxygen.
The complete reaction of the photosynthesis is in fact:
6CO_2+6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2
and the energy of the light coming from the sun is also used to make the reaction possible.

A rotating water pump works by taking water in at one side of a rotating wheel, and expelling it from the other side. If a pump
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s

angular acceleration, α = 30.5 rad/s²

time, t = 9 s

radius, r = 0.120 m

let the velocity is v after time 9 s.

Use first equation of motion for rotational motion

ω = ωo + αt

ω = 0 + 30.5 x 9

ω = 274.5 rad/s

v = rω

v = 0.120 x 274.5

v = 32.94 m/s

Balanced forces keep this boy in place on his chair. What
I am Lyosha [343]

While the boy is sitting on the chair it creates a force downward on the chair and therefore the chair takes it and gives off the equal amount of force. So while he is putting force downward the chair is putting the same force upward.
