Answer: 2561.7 pounds
Explanation:
If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:
(1)
Where:
is the slope of the line
is the airplane weight with 51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)
is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)
This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:
Rewritting (1):
(2)
As Y is a function of X:
(3)
Substituting the known values:
(4)
(5)
(6)
Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):
(7)
(8) This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.
Answer:
Explanation:
The angle of incidence and refraction are both measured from the normal
angle of incidence = 30°
angle of refraction = 23°
refractive index(n) = sini / sinr
n = sin30°/sin23°
n = 1.27965
refractive index (n) = 1/sinC
where C is the critical angle.
sinC= 1/n
C =arcsin (1/n)
C =arcsin (1/1.27965)
C = 51.39°
Answer:
(a). 14.4 lbf/in^2.
(b). 27.8 in, AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.
Explanation:
So, from the question above we are given the following parameters which are going to help us in solving this particular Question;
=> The "barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer)"
=> "On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion)."
With these knowledge, let us delve right into the solution;
(a). The barometric pressure = water vapor pressure + acceleration due to gravity (ft/s^2) × water density(slug/ft^3) × {ft/12 in}^3 × [ height of mercury column + specific gravity of mercury × height of water column].
The barometric pressure= 0.363 + {(62.146) ÷ (12^3) × 390.6425}. = 14.4 lbf/in^2.
(b). { (13.55 × length of mercury) + 6.5 } × (62.15÷ 12^3) = 14.4 - 0.603.
Length of mercury = 27.8 in.
AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.
