Answer:

50421.6 m³

Explanation:

The river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 m³/s.

Tributary B accounts for 47% of the rate of water flow. Therefore the rate of water flow through tributary B is:

Flow rate of water through tributary B = 47% of 59.6 m³/s = 0.47 * 59.6 m³/s = 28.012 m³/s

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B = Flow rate of water through tributary B * time taken

time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 1800 seconds

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B in 30 seconds = 28.012 m³/s * 1800 seconds = 50421.6 m³

Answer: a) W(earth) = 935.62 lbs

b) Mass of rocks in slugs = 29.06 slugs

Explanation:

a) From Newton's law, W = mg. Whether on the moon or on earth. Although, the mass of the rocks everywhere is the same, that is, mass of rocks on the moon = mass of rocks on earth.

W(moon) = mg(moon)

W(moon) = 154 lbs

g(moon) = 5.30 ft/s2

m = W(moon)/g(moon) = 154/5.3 = 29.06 lb.s2/ft

W(earth) = m g(earth)

g(earth) = 32.2 ft/s2

W(earth) = 29.06 × 32.2 = 935.62 lbs.

b) A slug = 1 lb.s2/ft, therefore the mass of the rocks in slugs is 29.06 slugs.

The no-slip condition is:________
viva [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (c) An experimental observation that the velocity of a fluid in contact with a solid surface is equal to the velocity of the surface.

Explanation

Solution:

When a fluid is in proximity to the boundary the solid and the velocities are the same or uniform for the fluid and the surface, no slip condition does not exist.

However, because the no-slip meets the expectations for gas and liquids, this condition no way connected in this case of two solid in proximity.

hence, the other options are wrong here.

g a heat engine is located between thermal reservoirs at 400k and 1600k. the heat engine operates with an efficiency that is 70%
Bond [772]

Answer:

<em>Heat rejected to cold body = 3.81 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Temperature of hot thermal reservoir Th = 1600 K

Temperature of cold thermal reservoir Tc = 400 K

<em>efficiency of the Carnot's engine = 1 - </em>\frac{Tc}{Th}<em> </em>

eff. of the Carnot's engine = 1 - \frac{400}{600}

eff = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

<em>efficiency of the heat engine = 70% of 0.75 = 0.525</em>

work done by heat engine = 2 kJ

<em>eff. of heat engine is gotten as = W/Q</em>

where W = work done by heat engine

Q = heat rejected by heat engine to lower temperature reservoir

from the equation, we can derive that

heat rejected Q = W/eff = 2/0.525 = <em>3.81 kJ</em>
