query introset plug of water from cylinder given gauge pressure, c-s hole area, length of plug.

Explain how we can determine the velocity of exiting water, given the pressure difference between inside and outside, by considering a plug of known cross-sectional area and length?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

To find this particular solution you would use the equation of 1/2 (rho) x Area x length x the velocity ^2, and then find v using algebraic methods.

** The net force on the plug is P * A, where A is its cross-sectional area and P the pressure difference.

If L is the length of the plug then the net force P * A acts thru dist L doing work P * A * L. If init vel is 0 and there are no dissipative forces, this is the kinetic energy attained by the plug.

The volume of the plug is A * L so its mass is rho * A * L.

Thus we have mass rho * A * L with KE equal to P * A * L.

Setting .5 m v^2 = KE we have .5 rho A L v^2 = P A L so that v = sqrt( 2 P / rho). **

prin phy problem 10.3. Mass of air in room 4.8 m x 3.8 m x 2.8 m.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Since mass = density x volume; and the density of room temp. = 1.3, you would multiply 4.8 x 3.8 x 2.8 which equals = 51m; then you would mutliply 51 by the room temp of 1.3 = 66kg

1.3 kg / m^3 (note that the quantity has units) is density, not room temperature. Also 4.8 x 3.8 x 2.8 should read 4.8 m x 3.8 m x 2.8 m, and the result comes out in m^3, not m.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:00:45

The density of air at common atmospheric temperature and pressure it about 1.3 kg / m^3.

The volume of the room is 4.8 m * 3.8 m * 2.8 m = 51 m^3, approximately. The mass of the air in this room is therefore

mass = density * volume = 1.3 kg / m^3 * 51 m^3 = 66 kg, approximately.

This is a medium-sized room, and the mass is close to the average mass of a medium-sized person.

prin phy problem 10.8. Difference in blood pressure between head and feet of 1.60 m tell person.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Using rho (g) (h) = 15,680 kg/( m s^2); which also means 15,680 Pascals, since 1 mm of mercury = 133 Pascals; use the equation 15680/ (1/133) = 117.89 mm in mercury for the difference in blood pressure for someone that is 1.6m tall.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:12:59

The density of blood is close to that of water, 1000 kg / m^3. So the pressure difference corresponding to a height difference of 1.6 m is

pressure difference = rho g h = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.80 m/s^2 * 1.60 m = 15600 kg / ( m s^2) = 15600 (kg m / s^2) / m^2 = 15600 N / m^2, or 15600 Pascals.

1 mm of mercury is 133 Pascals, so 15,600 Pa = 15,600 Pa * ( 1 mm of Hg / 133 Pa) = 117 mm of mercury.

Blood pressures are measured in mm of mercury; e.g. a blood pressure of 120 / 70 stands for a systolic pressure of 120 mm of mercury and a diastolic pressure of 70 mm of mercury.

Yep, I understand it.

prin phy and gen phy 10.25 spherical balloon rad 7.35 m total mass 930 kg, Helium => what buoyant force

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

V = (4/3)pi r ^3; which after being solved equals 2160 kg; to find the buoyant force you would multiply 2160 kg by 9.8 = 21,168N; then using the 930 kg of helium and multiplying that by 9.8 = 9,114N; then 21,168N - 9,114N = 12,054N which is the buoyant force

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:20:59

** The volume of the balloon is about 4/3 pi r^3 = 1660 cubic meters and mass of air displaced is about 1.3 kg / m^3 * 1660 m^3 = 2160 kg.

The buoyant force is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced air, or about 2160 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 20500 Newtons, approx.. If the total mass of the balloon, including helium, is 930 kg then the net force is about

buoyant force - weight = 20,500 N - 9100 N = 11,400 N

If the 930 kg doesn't include the helium we have to account also for the force of gravity on its mass. At about .18 kg/m^3 the 1660 m^3 of helium will have mass about 300 kg on which gravity exerts an approximate force of 2900 N, so the net force on the balloon would be around 11,400 N - 2900 N = 8500 N approx.

The mass that can be supported by this force is m = F / g = 8500 N / (9.8 m/s^2) = 870 kg, approx.. **

univ 14.51 (14.55 10th edition) U tube with Hg, 15 cm water added, pressure at interface, vert separation of top of water and top of Hg where exposed to atmosphere.

Give your solution to this problem.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Do not have this textbook so I cannot work the problem.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:22:06

** At the interface the pressure is that of the atmosphere plus 15 cm of water, or 1 atm + 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2 * .15 m = 1 atm + 1470 Pa.

The 15 cm of water above the water-mercury interface must be balanced by the mercury above this level on the other side. Since mercury is 13.6 times denser than water there must therefore be 15 cm / (13.6) = 1.1 cm of mercury above this level on the other side. This leaves the top of the water column at 15 cm - 1.1 cm = 13.9 cm above the mercury-air interface.

}

Here's an alternative solution using Bernoulli's equation, somewhat more rigorous and giving a broader context to the solution:

Comparing the interface between mercury and atmosphere with the interface between mercury and water we see that the pressure difference is 1470 Pa. Since velocity is zero we have P1 + rho g y1 = P2 + rho g y2, or

rho g (y1 - y2) = P2 - P1 = 1470 Pa.

Thus altitude difference between these two points is

y1 - y2 = 1470 Pa / (rho g) = 1470 Pa / (13600 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2) = .011 m approx. or about 1.1 cm.

The top of the mercury column exposed to air is thus 1.1 cm higher than the water-mercury interface. Since there are 15 cm of water above this interface the top of the water column is

15 cm - 1.1 cm = 13.9 cm

higher than the top of the mercury column.

NOTE BRIEF SOLN BY STUDENT:

Using Bernoullis Equation we come to:

'rho*g*y1='rho*g*y2

1*10^3*9.8*.15 =13.6*10^3*9.8*y2

y2=.011 m

h=y1-y2

h=.15-.011=.139m

h=13.9cm. **

Ok I know how to use Bernoulli's equation though so if I had the full problem I would be able to figure it out.
