The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of

a building are 730 and 755 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Assume an average air density of 1.18 kg/m^3.

Answer:

h = 287.1 m

Explanation:

the density of mercury \rho =13570 kg/m3

the atmospheric pressure at the top of the building is

p_t = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.73 = 97.08 kPa

the atmospheric pressure at bottom

p_b = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.75 = 100.4 kPa

\frac{w_{air}}{A} =p_b -p_t

we have also

(\rho gh)_{air} = p_b - p_t

1.18*9.81*h = (100.4 -97.08)*10^3

h = 287.1 m

The output side of an ideal transformer has 35 turns, and supplies 2.0 A to a 24-W device. Ifthe input is a standard wall outlet
Crank

Answer:

The current drawn from the outlet is 0.2 A

The number of turns on the input side is 350 turns

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the secondary coil, Ns = 35 turns

the output current, I_s = 2 A

power supplied, P_s = 24 W

the standard wall outlet in most homes = 120 V = input voltage

For an ideal transformer; output power = input power

the current drawn from the outlet is calculated;

I_pV_p = P_s\\\\I_p = \frac{P_s}{V_p} = \frac{24}{120} = 0.2 \ A

The number of turns on the input side is calculated as;

\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p}  \\\\N_p = \frac{N_sI_s}{I_p} \\\\N_p = \frac{35 \times 2}{0.2} \\\\N_p = 350 \ turns

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

A. water pump

Explanation:

<em>Timing belt in a vehicle helps to ensure that crankshaft, pistons and valves operate together in proper sequence.</em> Timing belts are lighter, quieter and more efficient than chains that was previously used in vehicles.

<em>Most car manufacturers recommended that, when replacing timing belt, tension assembly, water pump, camshaft oil seal should also be replaced with it at same time. </em>

Air (cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·°C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. A
uysha [10]

Answer:

Q=67.95 W

T=119.83°C

Explanation:

Given that

For air

Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·°C

T= 20°C

V=0.6 m³/s

P= 95 KPa

We know that for air

P V = m' R T

95 x 0.6 = m x 0.287 x 293

m=0.677 kg/s

For gas

Cp = 1.10 kJ/kg·°C

m'=0.95 kg/s

Ti=160°C   ,To= 95°C

Heat loose by gas = Heat gain by air

[m Cp ΔT] for air =[m Cp ΔT] for gas

by putting the values

0.677 x 1.005 ( T - 20)= 0.95 x 1.1 x ( 160 -95 )

T=119.83°C

T is the exit temperature of the air.

Heat transfer

Q=[m Cp ΔT] for gas

Q=0.95 x 1.1 x ( 160 -95 )

Q=67.95 W
