A mercury manometer is connected to a container of gas. (a) The height of the mercury column on the side connected to the gas is

22.0 cm (measured from the bottom of the manometer). What is the height of the mercury column on the open side if the gauge pressure is measured to be 13.3 kPa? (b) If the gauge pressure of the gas doubles, what are the new heights of the two columns?

Answer:

(a) The height of the mercury on the open side if the gauge pressure is measured to be 13.3 kPa is 9.97395 cm

(b) When the gauge pressure is doubled;

The height of the mercury on the open side becomes 19.9479 cm

The height of the mercury on the side connected to the gas becomes 12.02605 cm

Explanation:

(a) The given parameters are;

The height of the mercury column on the side connected to the gas = 22.0 cm

The gauge pressure = 13.3 kPa

The gauge pressure is the pressure in the gas container relative to the atmospheric pressure, therefore, we have;

ΔP = P - P₀ = ρ × g × h

Where;

ΔP = The gauge pressure = P - P₀ = 13.3 kPa = 13,300 Pa

P₀ = The atmospheric pressure

P = The pressure of the gas in the container

ρ = The density of the mercury = 13593 kg/m³

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

ΔP = ρ × g × h, by substitution gives

13,300 = 13593 × 9.81 × h

h = 13,300/(13593 × 9.81) ≈ 0.0997395 m = 9.97395 cm

The height of the mercury on the open side if the gauge pressure is measured to be 13.3 kPa is 9.97395 cm

(b) Given that the gauge pressure for the gas doubles, we have;

13,300 × 2 = 13593 × 9.81 × h

Therefore, h = 2 × 9.97395 = 19.9479 cm

The height of the mercury on the open side, h = 19.9479 cm

Therefore, the height of the mercury on the side connected to the gas becomes, 22 - 9.97395 = 12.02605 cm

Answer:

Usually, the relationship between mass and weight on Earth is highly proportional; objects that are a hundred times more massive than a one-liter bottle of soda almost always weigh a hundred times more—approximately 1,000 newtons, which is the weight one would expect on Earth from an object with a mass slightly greater ...

A car travelling at 5.0 m/s starts to speed up. After 3.0 s its velocity has increased to 11 m/s. a) What is its acceleration? (
lions [1.4K]

initially, the car is traveling at 5.0 m/s.

so, we know acceleration for changing velocity is :

a = (v-v_{o})/t ..........(i)

where v is the final velocity

v_{o} is the initial velocity

t is the time taken to change velocity

Now, as per the question :

initial velocity, v_{o}=5.0 m/s

final velocity, v =11 m/s

time taken, t = 3 s

putting the values in equation (i),

a = ( 11-5 )/3

a = 2 m/s²

Therefore, a, after 3 s, is  <em>2 m/s².</em>

A shopper pushes a 5.32 kg grocery cart with a 12.7 N force directed at -28.7° below horizontal. A friction force of 8.33 N push
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.8214 m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet= Fpushed - Ffriction

Fpushed = 12.7N      Ffriction = 8.33N

Fnet = 12.7N - 8.33N = 4.37N

Fnet= mass(acceleration)

Fnet = 4.37N    mass = 5.32 kg

4.37N = 5.32 kg(acceleration)

acceleration= 0.8214 m/s^2

A 55-kg woman is wearing high heels. If each heel has a circular cross-section 6.0 mm in diameter and she puts all her weight on
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m = 55 kg

diameter of the circular heel, d = 6.0 mm

radius of the heel, r = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m

Cross-sectional area of the heel is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.003)²

A = 2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ m²

The weight of the woman is given by;

W = mg

W = 55 x 9.8

W = 539 N

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is given by;

P = F / A

P = W / A

P = 539 / (2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ )

P = 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²
