Problem 2: (15 pts) A 10-m high cylindrical container is half-filled at the bottom with water of density =1000 kg/m3 while the t

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$\Delta p = 90.7 kPa$

Explanation:

specific gravity of oil is $= \frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_w}$

$\rho_{oil} = 0.85*1000 = 850 kg/m3$

we know that

change in pressure for oil is given as

$\Delta p = \rho gh$

here density and h is for oil

$\Delta p = 850*5 *9.81 = 41,692.5 kPa$

change in pressure for WATER is given as

$\Delta p = \rho gh$

here density is for water and h is for water

$\Delta p = 1000*5 *9.81 = 49,050 kPa$

pressure change due to both is given as

$\Delta p = 41692.3 + 49050 = 90742.5 N/m2$

$\Delta p = 90.7 kPa$

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn

77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}$

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

$m=\dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}$

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.

Does a thicker core make an electromagnet stronger?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The core of an electromagnet serves to stabilize the magnetic field created by the wire. The thicker the core, the more metal there is to amplify the current. Therefore, a thicker core does make an electromagnet stronger. Hope this helps!
