A pressure cooker is a pot whose lid can be tightly sealed to prevent gas from entering or escaping. even without knowing how bi

g the pressure cooker is, or what altitude it is being used at, we can make predictions about how much force the lid will experience under different conditions.

Even if we lack details about the size of the pressure cooker or the altitude of its operation, we can reliably assess the force on the lid based on prior knowledge because, similar to boiling water, the pressure buildup inside the cooker increases in line with the rising temperature.

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall building. The rock's displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 %
inna [3103]

The height measures 69.68 m

Explanation:

Given data

Before striking the ground =  46 % of the total distance

To establish

the height

Solution

We know here acceleration and displacement, which is

d = (0.5)gt²..............1

Here d is the distance, g is the acceleration, and t is time

So, when an object falls it will be

h = 4.9 t²....................2

For the first part of the inquiry

The falling objects account for

54 % of the total distance

0.54 h = 4.9 (t-1)²...................3

Thus,

Now we possess two equations with unknown variables

We can equate both equations

The first equation already solves for h

Substituting h in the second equation allows us to find t

0.54 × 4.9 t² = 4.9 (t-1)²  

t = 0.576 s and  3.771 s

We choose here 3.771 s since 0.576 s is negligible; the distance covered in the last second before it impacts the ground is 46 % of the entire fall.

Thus, selecting t = 3.771 s

Then h from equation 2

h = 4.9 t²

h = 4.9 (3.771)²

h =  69.68 m

Thus, the height is 69.68 m

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a fresh- water lake at a depth of 27.5 m. Assume the density of the water i
kicyunya [3294]

Response:

a) P = 370.993\,kPa, b) F = 25.948\,kN

Clarification:

a) The absolute pressure at a depth of 27.5 meters is:

P = P_{atm} + P_{man}

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (27.5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 370.993\,kPa

b) The force applied by the water is:

F = (P - P_{atm})\cdot A

F = (370.993\,kPa-101.3\,kPa)\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

F = 25.948\,kN
