An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of

the volume is occupied by liquid water and the rest by vapor. Now an electric resistor placed in the tank is turned on, and the tank is observed to contain saturated water vapor after 20 min. Determine:
(a) the volume of the tank

(b) the final temperature

(c) the electric power rating of the resistor

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

$m=\frac{V}{v}$

$m=m_f+m_g$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$       (taking the value of $v_g$ and $v_g$ at 200°C  )

$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$

Now quality of vapor

$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$

  $=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$

    $=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$

    = 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor $v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$

$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$

   = 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$

Now power rating of the resistor

$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$

$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$

  = 1.51 kW

Two forces, F₁ and F₂, act at a point. F₁ has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x ax
kirill115 [55]

1) -7.14 N

2) +2.70 N

3) 7.63 N

Explanation:

1)

In order to find the x-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the x-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: this means that the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}

so its x-component is

F_{1x}=(8.00)(cos (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=-3.88 N

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: so, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}

Therefore its x-component is

F_{2x}=(5.40)(cos (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-3.26 N

So, the x-component of the resultant force is

F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}=-3.88+(-3.26)=-7.14 N

2)

In order to find the y-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the y-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: as we said previously, the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}

so its y-component is

F_{1y}=(8.00)(sin (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=7.00 N

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: as we said previously, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}

Therefore its y-component is

F_{2y}=(5.40)(sin (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-4.30 N

So, the y-component of the resultant force is

F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}=7.00+(-4.30)=2.70 N

3)

The two components of the resultant force representent the sides of a right triangle, of which the resultant force corresponds tot he hypothenuse.

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

Where in this problem, we have:

F_x=-7.14 N is the x-component

F_y=2.70 N is the y-component

And substituting, we find:

F=\sqrt{(-7.14)^2+(2.70)^2}=7.63 N

Katen [24]

If an experiment is conducted such that an applied force is exerted on an object, a student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object.

The  graph of the net force exerted on the object as a function of the object’s distance traveled is attached below.

  • A student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object by Calculating the area bound by the line of best fit and the horizontal axis from 0m to 5m

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a 1.0-m-long string is 440 Hz. What would be the wave speed of a pulse moving al
Nana76 [90]

Answer: v = 880m/s

Explanation: The length of a string is related to the wavelength of sound passing through the string at the fundamental frequency is given as

L = λ/2 where L = length of string and λ = wavelength.

But L = 1m

1 = λ/2

λ = 2m.

But the frequency at fundamental is 440Hz and

V = fλ

Hence

v = 440 * 2

v = 880m/s
