A 7.59-m-tall container is filled to the brim, partway with mercury and the rest of the way with water. The container is open to

the atmosphere. What must be the depth of the mercury so that the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is twice the atmospheric pressure?

Answer:

1.0335 m

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure, Po = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa

Let the depth of mercury is h

the depth of water is 7.59 - h

density of mercury = 13.6 x 10^3 kg/m^3

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Pressure due to mercury + pressure due to water = 2 x Po

height of mercury x density of mercury x g + height of water x density x g

                                        = 2Po

h x 13.6 x 1000 x g + (7.59 - h) x 1000 x g = 2 x 1.01 x 10^5

h x 13.6 x 9.8 + (7.59 - h) x 9.8 = 2 x 1.01 x 100

133.28 h + 74.382 - 9.8 h = 202

123.48 h = 127.618

h = 1.0335 m

Thus, the height of mercury column is 1.0335 m.

Answer:

0.22 m

Explanation:

P_{o} = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

P = Pressure at the bottom = tex]2 P_{o}[/tex] = 2 (101325) = 202650 Pa

h = height of the container = 7.59 m

x = depth of the mercury

Pressure at the bottom = Atmospheric pressure + Pressure due to mercury + Pressure due to water

P = P_{o} + \rho _{w} g (h - x) + \rho _{hg} g x\\2 P_{o} = P_{o} + \rho _{w} g (h - x) + \rho _{hg} g x\\P_{o} = \rho _{w} g (h - x) + \rho _{hg} g x\\101325 = (1000) (9.8) (7.59 - x) + (13600) (9.8) x\\x = 0.22 m

When this current is closed which way does the current flow
Anastaziya [24]
Well, Godess, that's not a simple question, and it doesn't have
a simple answer.

When the switch is closed . . .

"Conventional current" flows out of the ' + ' of the battery, through R₁ ,
then through R₂ , then through R₃ .  It piles up on the right-hand side of
the capacitor (C).  It repels the ' + ' charges on the left side of 'C', and
those flow into the ' - ' side of the battery.  So the flow of current through
this series circuit is completely clockwise, around toward the right. 

That's the way the first experimenters pictured it, that's the way we still
handle it on paper, and that's the way our ammeters display it.

BUT . . .

About 100 years after we thought that we completely understand electricity,
we discovered that the little tiny things that really move through a wire, and
really carry the electric charge, are the electrons, and they carry NEGATIVE
charge.  This turned our whole picture upside down.

But we never changed the picture !  We still do all of our work in terms of
'conventional current'.  But the PHYSICAL current ... the actual motion of
charge in the wire ... is all exactly the other way around.

In your drawing ... When the switch is closed, electrons flow out of the 
' - ' terminal on the bottom of the battery, and pile up on the left plate of
the 'C'.  They repel electrons off of the right-side of 'C', and those then
flow through R₃ , then through R₂ , then through R₁ , and finally into the
' + ' terminal on top of the battery.

Those are the directions of 'conventional' current and 'physical' current
in all circuits.

In the circuit of YOUR picture that you attached, there's more to the story:

Battery current can't flow through a capacitor.  Current flows only until
charges are piled up on the two sides of 'C' facing each other, and then
it stops.

Wait a few seconds after you close the switch in the picture, and there is
no longer any current in the loop.

To be very specific and technical about it . . .

-- The instant you close the switch, the current is

       (battery voltage) / (R₁ + R₂ + R₃)        amperes

but it immediately starts to decrease.

--  Every  (C)/((R₁ + R₂ + R₃)  seconds after that, the current is

                  e⁻¹  =  about  36.8 %

less than it was that same amount of time ago.

Now, are you glad you asked ?

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 250 turns enclosing an area of 10.5 cm2 is rotated during the time interval 3.10
olchik [2.2K]
I guess the problem is asking for the induced emf in the coil.

Faraday-Neumann-Lenz states that the induced emf in a coil is given by:
\epsilon = -N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}
where
N is the number of turns in the coil
\Delta \Phi is the variation of magnetic flux through the coil
\Delta t is the time interval

The coil is initially perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field, so the initial flux through it is given by the product between the magnetic field strength and the area of the coil:
\Phi_i = BA=(5.30 \cdot 10^{-5}T)(10.5 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2)=5.57 \cdot 10^{-8} Wb
At the end of the time interval, the coil is parallel to the field, so the final flux is zero:
\Phi_f = 0

Therefore, we can calculate now the induced emf by using the first formula:
\epsilon = -N  \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}=- (250)  \frac{5.57 \cdot 10^{-8} Wb - 0}{3.10 \cdot 10^{-2} s} = -4.5 \cdot 10^{-4} V

A 80 kg parent and a 20 kg child meet at the center of an ice rink. They place their hands together and push. The parent pushes
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

force acting on the parent = 25 N .

Explanation:

According to third law of Newton , there is equal and opposite reaction to every action . Here force by the parent on child is action and the force by child on parent is reaction . The former is given as 25 N so force by child on parent will also be 25 N .

Answer is 25 N .
