ec=(TH-TC)/TH

ec=(490-210)/490=57.1%

Efficiency is the measure of how efficient a process is. It is used to assess the ability of a process in avoiding waste energy, materials, money and time in doing a desirable output. It is calculated in thermodynamics as:

Efficiency = 1 - Tc / Th

Efficiency = 1 - 210 / 490
Efficiency = 0.57

Left arm has area 10.0 cm2, right has area 5.00 cm2. 100 g of water isadded to right side. a) Determine the length of the water

Masja [62]

Answer:

0.49 cm

Explanation:

We are given that

$A_1=10 cm^2$

$A_2=5 cm^2$

Mass of water,m=100 g

a. $\rho_w=1 g/cm^3$

Volume, $V=\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{100}{1}=100 cm^3$

Length of water column in the right arm= $L=\frac{V}{A_2}=\frac{100}{5}=20 cm$

b. $\rho_m=13.6 g/cm^3$

In equilibrium condition

Pressure at point A=Pressure at point B

$P+\rho_mg(h+h_2)=P+\rho_wgL$

$hA_1=h_2A_2$

$h_2=\frac{hA_1}{A_2}$

$13.6\times 9.8(h+h(\frac{A_1}{A_2}))=1\times 9.8\times 20$

$13.6\times h(\frac{A_2+A_1}{A_2})=20$

$h=\frac{20A_2}{13.6(A_2+A_1)}$

$h=\frac{20\times 5}{13.6\times (10+5)}=0.49 cm$

If you hold a permanent magnet the wrong way in an extremely strong magnetic f eld, its magnetization will be permanently revers

Phoenix [80]

Answer: The domain that is aligned with the applied field will grow, while the domain that is oppositely aligned to the magnetic field will shrink, this is because permanent magnets produces their own magnetic field.
