Answer:

196000 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 m

Area (A) = 2 m²

Force (F) =.?

Next, we shall determine the pressure in the tank.

This can be obtained as follow:

P = dgh

Where

P is the pressure.

d is the density of the liquid.

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

Height (h) = 10 m

Density (d) of water = 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Pressure (P) =...?

P = dgh

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 10

P = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure acting on the tank is 98000 N/m²

Finally, we shall determine the force of gravity acting on the column of water as follow:

Area (A) = 2 m²

Pressure (P) = 98000 N/m²

Force (F) =.?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F /A

98000 = F/ 2

Cross multiply

F = 98000 × 2

F = 196000 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 196000 N

The interior space of large box is kept at 30 C. The walls of the box are 3 m high and have a ‘sandwich’ construction consisting

White raven [17]

Answer:

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}$

$T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C$ & $T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

interior temperature of box, $T_i=30^{\circ}C$

height of the walls of box, $h=3\ m$

thickness of each layer of bi-layered plywood, $x_p=1.25\ cm=0.0125\ m$

thermal conductivity of plywood, $k_p=0.104\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

thickness of sandwiched Styrofoam, $x_s=5\ cm=0.05\ m$

thermal conductivity of Styrofoam, $k_s=0.04\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

exterior temperature, $T_o=0^{\circ}C$

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction:</u>

$\dot Q=\frac{dT}{(\frac{x}{kA}) }$

$\dot Q=\frac{dT}{R_{th} }$ ....................................(1)

<u>Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:</u>

$R_{th}=R_p+R_s+R_p$

$R_{th}=\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}+\frac{x_s}{k_s.A}+\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}$

$R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{x_p}{k_p}+\frac{x_s}{k_s}+\frac{x_p}{k_p})$

$R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{0.0125}{0.104}+\frac{0.05}{0.04}+\frac{0.0125}{0.104})$

$R_{th}=\frac{1.4904}{A}$ .....................(2)

Putting the value from (2) into (1):

$\dot Q=\frac{30-0}{\frac{1.4904}{A} }$

$\dot Q=\frac{30\ A}{1.4904}$

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}$ is the heat per unit area of the wall.

The heat flux remains constant because the area is constant.

<u>For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:</u>

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_p.\frac{T_i-T_1}{x_p}$

$20.129=0.104\times \frac{30-T_1}{0.0125}$

$T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C$

&<u>For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:</u>

$\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_s.\frac{T_1-T_2}{x_s}$

$20.129=0.04\times \frac{27.58-T_2}{0.05}$

$T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C$

. A 1.50kg mass on a spring has a displacement as a function of time given by the equation: x(t) = (7.40cm)cos[(4.16s-1)t – 2.42

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Solution:

we have given the equation of motion is x(t)=8sint [where t in seconds and x in centimeter]

Position, velocity and acceleration are all based on the equation of motion.

The equation represents the position. The first derivative gives the velocity and the 2nd derivative gives the acceleration.

x(t)=8sint

x'(t)=8cost

x"(t)=-8sint

now at time t=2pi/3,

position, x(t)=8sin(2pi/3)=4*squart(3)cm.

velocity, x'(t)=8cos(2pi/3)==4cm/s

acceleration, x"(t)==8sin(2pi/3)=-4cm/s^2

so at present the direction is in y-axis.
