Answer:
The atmospheric pressure is .
Explanation:
Given that,
Atmospheric pressure
drop height h'= 27.1 mm
Density of mercury
We need to calculate the height
Using formula of pressure
Put the value into the formula
We need to calculate the new height
We need to calculate the atmospheric pressure
Using formula of atmospheric pressure
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The atmospheric pressure is .
As the first astronaut throws the ball, lets assume it goes with v velocity and the mass of the ball be m
the momentum comes out be mv, thus to conserve that momentum the astronaut will move opposite to the direction of the ball's motion with the velocity mv/M (where M is the mass of the astronaut).
The image of the water tower and the houses is in the attachment.
Answer: (a) P = 245kPa;
(b) P = 173.5 kPa
Explanation: <u>Gauge</u> <u>pressure</u> is the pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure and it is only dependent of the height of the liquid in the container.
The pressure is calculated as: P = hρg
where
ρ is the density of the liquid, in this case, water, which is ρ = 1000kg/m³;
When it is full the reservoir contains 5.25×10⁵ kg. So, knowing the density, you know the volume:
ρ =
V = ρ/m
V =
V = 525 m³
To know the height of the spherical reservoir, its diameter is needed and to determine it, find the radius:
V =
r =
r = 5.005 m
diameter = 2*r = 10.01m
(a) Height for House A:
h = 15 + 10.01
h = 25.01
P = hρg
P = 25.01.10³.9.8
P = 245.10³ Pa or 245kPa
(b) h = 25 - 7.3
h = 17.71
P = hρg
P = 17.71.1000.9.8
P = 173.5.10³ Pa or 173.5 kPa
