Question

You want a potof water to boil at 105 celcius. How heavy a

Answer 1

Answer:

35.7 kg lid we put

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 105 celcius

diameter = 15 cm

Patm = 101 kPa

to find out

How heavy a  lid should you put

solution

we know Psaturated from table for temperature is 105 celcius is

Psat = 120.8 kPa

so

area will be here

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$    ..................1

here d is diameter

put the value in equation 1

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} 0.15^2$

area = 0.01767 m²

so net force is

Fnet = ( Psat - Patm ) × area

Fnet = ( 120.8 - 101 ) × 0.01767

Fnet = 0.3498 KN = 350 N

we know

Fnet = mg

mass = $\frac{Fnet}{g}$

mass  = $\frac{350}{9.8}$

mass = 35.7 kg

so 35.7 kg lid we put
