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

Five hundred gallons of 89-octane gasoline is obtained by mixing 87-octane gasoline with 92-octane gasoline. (a) Write a system
miskamm [114]

Explanation:

a) The total volume equals the sum of the volumes.

500 = x + y

The total octane amount equals the sum of the octane amounts.

89(500) = 87x + 92y

44500 = 87x + 92y

b) desmos.com/calculator/ekegkzllqx

As x increases, y decreases.

c) Use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

44500 = 87x + 92(500−x)

44500 = 87x + 46000 − 92x

5x = 1500

x = 300

y = 200

The required volumes are 300 gallons of 87 gasoline and 200 gallons of 92 gasoline.
