<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) A chain reaction will be sustained in a sub-critical mass

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Critical mass is the minimum or the smallest amount of a given fissile material necessary to achieve a self-sustaining fission chain reaction under stated conditions.
  • A subcritical mass is a mass of fissile material that does not have the ability to sustain a fission chain reaction.

The initial height of the water in a sealed container of diameter 100.0 cm is 5.00 m. The air pressure inside the container is 0
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a)  F = 2.66 10⁴ N, b)   h = 1.55 m

Explanation:

For this fluid exercise we use that the pressure at the tap point is

Exterior

          P₂ = P₀ = 1.01 105 Pa

inside

         P₁ = P₀ + ρ g h

the liquid is water with a density of ρ=1000 km / m³

         P₁ = 0.85   1.01 10⁵ + 1000   9.8  5

         P₁ = 85850 + 49000

         P₁ = 1.3485 10⁵ Pa

the net force is

         ΔP = P₁- P₂

         Δp = 1.3485 10⁵ - 1.01 10⁵

         ΔP = 3.385 10⁴ Pa

Let's use the definition of pressure

         P = Fe / A

         F = P A

the area of ​​a circle is

         A = pi r² = [i d ^ 2/4

let's reduce the units to the SI system

         d = 100 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 1 m

         F = 3.385 104 pi / 4 (1) ²

         F = 2.66 10⁴ N

b) the height for which the pressures are in equilibrium is

        P₁ = P₂

        0.85 P₀ + ρ g h = P₀

        h = \frac{P_o ( 1-0.850)}{\rho \ g}

        h = \frac{1.01 \ 10^5 ( 1 -0.85)}{1000 \ 9.8}

        h = 1.55 m
