A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr

iction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 3400 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.028 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress

Answer:

x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

F = kx\\

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

<u>x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm</u>

julsineya [31]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Atomic structure contains electrons, protons and neutrons.

Electron is very light compared to proton and neutrons.

Given that the mass of an electron is

A) equal to the mass of a proton

B) less than the mass of a neutron

C) greater than the mass of a proton

D) equal to the mass of a neutron

The correct answer is B which is less than the mass of the neurons.

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

P=\rho g h

Where, P = pressure

\rho = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

P=1000\times9.8\times1.524

P=14935.2\ N/m^2

Pressure in psi is

P=2.166167621\ psi

P=2.167\ psi

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.

The pressure in a compressed air storage tank is 1200 kPa. What is the tank’s pressure in (a) kN and m units; (b) kg, m, and s u
elixir [45]

Explanation:

Given data

Pressure P=1200 kPa

To find

Pressure in

(a) kN/m²

(b) kg/m.s²

(c) kg/km.s²

Solution

For Part (a)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )\\P=1200kN/m^{2}

For Part (b)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )(\frac{1000kg.m/s^{2} }{1kN} )\\P=1,200,000kg/m.s^{2}

For Part (c)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )(\frac{1000kg.m/s^{2} }{1kN} )(\frac{100m}{1km} )\\P=1,200,000,000kg/km.s^{2}
