On a given day, a barometer at the base of the Washington Monument reads 29.97 in. of mercury. What would the barometer reading

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The barometer reading will be 29.43 in

Explanation:

Using the formula of pressure variation

p2 - p1 = -yair * H

= 7.65 * $10^{-2} \frac{lb}{ft^{3} } * 500 ft\\$

= 38.5 $\frac{lb}{ft^{2} }$

According to the relationship between the pressure and the height of the mercury column

p = yHg * h --> where yHg and h is the barometer reading

yHg $(\frac{29.97}{12} ft)$ - yHg * h1 = 38.5 $\frac{lb}{ft^{2} }$

h1 = ( $\frac{29.97}{12} ft$ ) - $\frac{38.5 \frac{lb}{ft^{2} } }{847 \frac{lb}{ft^{3} } }$

$[(\frac{29.97}{12} ft) - 0.0455 ft] - 12 \frac{in}{ft} \\\\h1 = 29.43 in$

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Out of the four options provided

option A. actuator

is correct

Explanation:

An actuator is the only device out of the four mentioned devices that provides power and ensures the motion in it in order to manipulate the movement of the moving parts of the damper or a valve used whereas others like ratio regulator are used to regulate air or gas ratio and none mof the 3 remaining options serves the purpose

The yield strength of mild steel is 150 MPa for an average grain diameter of 0.038 mm ; yield strength is 250 MPa for average gr

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hall-Petch equation provides direct relations between the strength of the material and the grain size:

σ=σ0+k/√d , where d- grain size, σ- strength for the given gran size, σ0 and k are the equation constants.

As in this problem, we don't know the constants of the equation, but we know two properties of the material, we are able to find them from the system of equations:

σ1=σ0+k/√d1

σ2=σ0+k/√d2 , where 1 and 2 represent 150MPa and 250MPa strength of the steel.

Note, that for the given problem, there is no need to convert units to SI, as constants can have any units, which are convenient for us.

From the system of equations calculations, we can find constant: σ0=55.196 MPa, k=18.48 MPa*mm^(0.5)

Now we are able to calculate strength for the grain diameter of 0.004 mm:

σ=55.196+18.48/(√0.004)=347.39 MPa

The strength of the steel with the grais size of 0.004 mm is 347.39 MPa.

A common way of measuring the thermal conductivity of a material is to sandwich an electric thermofoil heater between two identi

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: the thermal conductivity of the sample is 22.4 W/m . °C

Explanation:

We already know that the thermal conductivity of a material is to be determined by ensuring one-dimensional heat conduction, and by measuring temperatures when steady operating conditions are reached.

ASSUMPTIONS

1. Steady operating conditions exist since the temperature readings do not change with time.

2. Heat losses through lateral surfaces are well insulated, and thus the entire heat generated by the heater is conducted through the samples.

3. The apparatus possess thermal symmetry

ANALYSIS

The electrical power consumed by resistance heater and converted to heat is:

Wₐ = V<em>I</em> = ( 110 V ) ( 0.4 A ) = 44 W

Q = 1/2Wₐ = 1/2 ( 44 A )

Now since only half of the heat generated flows through each samples because of symmetry. Reading the same temperature difference across the same distance in each sample also confirms that the apparatus possess thermal symmetry. The heat transfer area is the area normal to the direction of heat transfer. which is the cross- sectional area of the cylinder in this case; so

A = 1/4πD² = 1/3 × π × ( 0.05 m )² = 0.001963 m²

Now Note that, the temperature drops by 15 degree Celsius within 3 cm in the direction of heat flow, the thermal conductivity of the sample will be

Q = kA ( ΔT/L ) → k = QL / AΔT

k = ( 22 W × 0.03 m ) / (0.001963 m² × 15°C )

k = 22.4 W/m . °C
