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

If there are 16 signal combinations (states) and a baud rate (number of signals/second) of 8000/second, how many bps could I sen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 bits/seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

there are 16  signal combinations (states) = 2⁴

bits  n = 4

and a baud rate (number of signals/second) = 8000/second

Therefore; the number of bits per seconds can be calculated as follows:

Number of bits per seconds = bits  n × number of signal per seconds

Number of bits per seconds =  4 × 8000/second

Number of bits per seconds = 32000 bits/seconds

A horse pulls a cart along a road with a force of 550 lbs. If the horse does 2,674,100 ftlbs of work by the time it stops, how f
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

When a horse pull a cart the action is on?

A horse is harnessed to a cart. If the horse tries to pull the cart, the horse must exert a force on the cart. By Newton's third law the cart must then exert an equal and opposite force on the horse. Newton's second law tells us that acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the system.

An FPC 4 m2 in area is tested during the night to measure the overall heat loss coefficient. Water at 60 C circulates through th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<em> - 14.943 W/m^2K  ( negative sign indicates cooling ) </em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of FPC = 4 m^2

temp of water = 60°C

flow rate = 0.06 l/s

ambient temperature = 8°C

exit temperature = 49°C

<u>Calculate the overall heat loss coefficient </u>

Note : heat lost by water = heat loss through convection

m*Cp*dT  = h*A * ( T - To )

∴ dT / T - To = h*A / m*Cp  ( integrate the relation )

In ( \frac{49-8}{60-8} ) =  h* 4 / ( 0.06 * 10^-3 * 1000 * 4180 )

In ( 41 / 52 ) = 0.0159*h

hence h = - 0.2376 / 0.0159

              = - 14.943  W/m^2K  ( heat loss coefficient )

When block C is in position xC = 0.8 m, its speed is 1.5 m/s to the right. Find the velocity of block A at this instant. Note th
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The answer is "2 m/s".

Explanation:

The triangle from of the right angle:

\to (x_c-0.8)+(1.5+y_4) +\sqrt{x_c^2 + 1.5^2}= constant

Differentiating the above equation:

\to V_c +V_A+ \frac{X_cV_c}{\sqrt{x_c^2 +1}}=0\\\\\to 1-V_A+ \frac{0.8 \times 1.5}{\sqrt{ 0.8^2+1.5}}=0\\\\

\to V_A=  \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{ 0.64+1.5}}+1\\\\

        = \frac{1.2}{ 1.46}+1\\\\= \frac{1.2+ 1.46}{ 1.46}\\\\ = \frac{2.66}{1.46}\\\\= 1.82 \ \frac{m}{s}\\\\= 2 \ \frac{m}{s}
