Answer:
The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
Explanation:
Given;
specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850
Specific gravity is given as;
Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;
Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
Answer:
Limewater can be used to detect carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater then it turns from clear to cloudy/milky in colour. This is why limewater used in a simple respirometer can show that more carbon dioxide is present in exhaled air compared to inhaled air.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) P = 1240 lb/ft^2
b) P = 1040 lb/ft^2
c) P = 1270 lb/ft^2
Explanation:
Given:
- P_a = 2216.2 lb/ft^2
- β = 0.00357 R/ft
- g = 32.174 ft/s^2
- T_a = 518.7 R
- R = 1716 ft-lb / slug-R
- γ = 0.07647 lb/ft^3
- h = 14,110 ft
Find:
(a) Determine the pressure at this elevation using the standard atmosphere equation.
(b) Determine the pressure assuming the air has a constant specific weight of 0.07647 lb/ft3.
(c) Determine the pressure if the air is assumed to have a constant temperature of 59 oF.
Solution:
- The standard atmospheric equation is expressed as:
P = P_a* ( 1 - βh/T_a)^(g / R*β)
(g / R*β) = 32.174 / 1716*0.0035 = 5.252
P = 2116.2*(1 - 0.0035*14,110/518.7)^5.252
P = 1240 lb/ft^2
- The air density method which is expressed as:
P = P_a - γ*h
P = 2116.2 - 0.07647*14,110
P = 1040 lb/ft^2
- Using constant temperature ideal gas approximation:
P = P_a* e^ ( -g*h / R*T_a )
P = 2116.2* e^ ( -32.174*14110 / 1716*518.7 )
P = 1270 lb/ft^2
Total resistance= 7.75+15.5+21.7=44.95
Current = 15V/44.95=0.334A
