Why is mercury not suitable as the liquid in the U-tube? (the relationship between density of the liquid and the pressure in the

liquid)​

Mercury Is more suitable than water cause it is denser than water.

Relation between density and pressure

Pressure = force/area

Replace force by mass * acceleration
Pressure = mass * acceleration/ area

We can replace mass by density * volume since density = mass/ volume
Pressure = density * volume * acceleration/ area

Volume is length^3 whereas area is length ^2. So volume / area = length

Pressure = density * length * acceleration

Gravity is form of acceleration so

Pressure = density * length * gravity
Length can be height or depth

Finally pressure = density * height * gravity

P = ρ g h => pressure of liquid

An Atwood machine is constructed using a hoop with spokes of negligible mass. The 2.3 kg mass of the pulley is concentrated on i
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a = 2.77~{\rm m/s^2}

Explanation:

Since the pulley has a mass concentrated on its rim, the pulley can be considered as a ring.

The moment of inertia of a ring is

I = mr^2 = (2.3)(23.5\times 10^{-2})^2 = 0.127

The mass on the left is heavier, that is the pulley is rotating counterclockwise.

By Newton's Second Law, the net torque is equal to moment of inertia times angular acceleration.

\tau = I \alpha

Here, the net torque is the sum of the weight on the left and the weight on the right.

\tau = m_1gR - m_2gR = (1.65)(9.8)(23.5\times 10^{-2}) - (1)(9.8)(23.5\times 10^{-2}) = 1.497~{\rm Nm}

Applying Newton's Second Law gives the angular acceleration

\tau = I\alpha\\1.497 = 0.127\alpha\\\alpha = 11.78~{\rm rad/s^2}

The relation between angular acceleration and linear acceleration is

a = \alpha R

Then, the linear acceleration of the masses is

a = 11.78 \times 23.5\times 10^{-2} = 2.77~{\rm m/s^2}

Which expression allows you to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(C) length / height of the plane

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be determined using different variables. In this case, the geometry of the setup is relevant. The advantage is proportional  to the length of the plane, and inversely proportional to the height: it is the ratio (length) / (height) of the plane. For example, given a desired, fixed height, a long inclined plane gives you a bigger mechanical advantage than a short inclined plane. In this example, pushing an object up the long plane will require a smaller force, than it would on the short plane.

Strictly speaking, (D) would also "allow you to determine the mechanical advantage" because you could simply invert the ratio listed under (D). However, (C) is the best, direct, answer.

In which of the following substances would convection most likely occur?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Air and ice

Explanation:

convection, process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water.

Everyday Examples of Convection:

radiator - A radiator puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.

steaming cup of hot tea - The steam you see when drinking a cup of hot tea indicates that heat is being transferred into the air.

ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the ice from the air.
