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>

An empty graduated cylinder weighs 55.26 g. When filled with 48.1 mL of an unknown liquid, it weighs 92.39 g. The density of the

<h2>Density of the unknown liquid is 771.93 kg/m³</h2>

Explanation:

An empty graduated cylinder weighs 55.26 g

Weight of empty cylinder = 55.26 g = 0.05526 kg

Volume of liquid filled = 48.1 mL = 48.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Weight of cylinder plus liquid = 92.39 g = 0.09239 kg

Weight of liquid = 0.09239 - 0.05526

Weight of liquid = 0.03713 kg

We have

        Mass = Volume x Density

        0.03713 = 48.1 x 10⁻⁶ x Density

        Density = 771.93 kg/m³

Density of the unknown liquid is 771.93 kg/m³

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2} I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}} and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

Fg= 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N
