Answer:

(a). The velocity head at elevation of 20 m is 6.52 m/s.

(b). The pressure head at elevation of 20 m is 26.42 m.

(c). The velocity is 6.52 m/s.

(d). The pressure head at elevation of 55 m is 16.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical diameter = 0.15 m

Rate =0.20 m³/s

Pressure = 210 kPa

Elevation = 25 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity  

Q=vA

v=\dfrac{Q}{A}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{0.20}{\pi\dfrac{D^2}{4}}

v=\dfrac{0.20}{\pi\dfrac{0.15^2}{4}}

v=11.31\ m/s

Since, Q is constant, A is constant so v will be constant everywhere.

(a). We need to calculate the velocity head at elevation of 20 m

Using formula of velocity head

v'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value into the formula

v'=\dfrac{11.31^2}{2\times9.8}

v'=6.52\ m/s

The velocity head at elevation of 20 m is 6.52 m/s.

(b). We need to calculate pressure head at elevation of 20 m,

Using Bernoulli equation

h+\dfrac{p}{\rho g}+\dfrac{v^2}{2g}=constant

h+\dfrac{p}{\rho g}=constant

Here, velocity is constant

At h = 20 m

20+P_{H}=25+\dfrac{210\times10^{3}}{1000\times9.8}

P_{H=46.42-20

P_{H}=26.42\ m

The pressure head at elevation of 20 m is 26.42 m.

(c). We need to calculate the velocity head at elevation of 55 m,

The velocity is v'=6.52 m/s.

(d). We need to calculate the pressure head at elevation of 55 m

Using formula again

At h = 55 m

h=55+P_{H}

55+P_{H}=25+46.42

P_{H}=25-55+46.42\ m

P_{H}=16.42\ m

The pressure head at elevation of 55 m is 16.42 m.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg

Given the reaction: N2(g) +2O2(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g) The forward reaction is endothermic. Determine which of the following changes would
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. I and V

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing the product side will cause the equilibrium to shift back towards the reactant side, so I is true.  By the same principle, II is false.

For gases, decreasing the pressure will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the side with higher number of moles.  So V is true.

The reaction is endothermic, so increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the products, so IV is false.  And adding a catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium, so III is false.

You are designing an elevator for a hospital. The force exerted on a passenger by the floor of the elevator is not to exceed 1.5
inn [45]

Answer:

maximum speed of the elevator is 6.54 m/s

Explanation:

given,

force exerted on the elevator is 1.59 times passenger weight.

when the elevator accelerates upward with rate of a.

total force

F    =  m × (a+g)

1.59× mg  = ma + mg        

0.59 mg = ma                    

a = 0.59 g            

we also have that

v^2 = u^2+ 2 a s         

v =\sqrt{2a*s}                    

  =\sqrt(2\times 0.59\times 9.8\times 3.7)

  = 6.54 m/s

maximum speed of the elevator is 6.54 m/s
