As a rocket flies through the air, it both translates and rotates. The rotation occurs about a point called the center of gravity. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of the rocket.

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

Argon gas enters steadily an adiabatic turbine at 900 kPa and 450C with a velocity of 80 m/s and leaves at 150 kPa with a veloc

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$

Explanation:

For the steady energy flow through a control volume, the power output is given as

$W_{out}= -m_{f}(h_{2}-h_{1} + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

Inlet area of the turbine = $60cm^{2}= 0.006m^{2}$

To find the mass flow rate, we can apply the ideal gas laws to estimate the specific volume, from there we can get the mass flow rate.

Assuming Argon behaves as an Ideal gas, we have the specific volume $v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\frac{RT_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{0.2081\times723}{900}=0.1672m^{3}/kg$

$m_{f}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}\times A_{1}V_{1} = \frac{1}{0.1672}\times(0.006)(80)=2.871kg/sec$

for Ideal gasses, the enthalpy change can be calculated using the formula

$h_{2}-h_{1}=C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

hence we have

$W_{out}= -m_{f}((C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1}) + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

$250= -2.871((0.5203(T_{2}-450) + \frac{150^{2}}{2\times 1000} - \frac{80^{2}}{2\times 1000})$

<em>Note: to convert the Kinetic energy term to kilojoules, it was multiplied by 1000</em>

evaluating the above equation, we have $T_{2}=267.3C$

Hence, the temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$
