- A vertical piston-cylinder arrangement with a diameter of 120 mm contains water with a quality of 60%. The pressure is 3 bar. Initially the piston rests 40 mm above the bottom of the cylinder. Heat is then added until the volume is 3 times the original volume. (a) Determine the mass of the water in the cylinder [ Select ] O kg (b) Determine the work done. [ Select ] O (J) (c) The final temperature [ Select ] O °C (d) The heat transferred to the system [ Select ]arrow_forwardThe correct statement in relation to first law of thermodynamics i.e. Q=W+AU is, .. [A] Q is negative if heat is absorbed by the system and Q is positive if heat is released by the system [B] AU is negative if internal energy of the system increases and AU is positive if internal energy of the system decreases [C] W is positive if work is done on the system and W is negative if work is done by the system [D] Q is a path function, W is a path function and A U is a state functionarrow_forwardA commonly used unit in everyday language to state weight is the pound (lb). There are actually several formal definitions of pound. One classification system defines a pound-mass (analogous to kg in SI units) and a pound-force (lbf) (analogous to a Newton); this is formally called English Engineering units but also commonly used in US Customary System units. The “pound” in the “pounds per square inch” of psi refers to pound-force. Hence, psi has units of force per area. Note that 1 lbf is defined as the gravitational force generated by 1 lb (mass) by multiplying it by the standard gravitational acceleration at the earth’s surface. Starting with just the two everyday conversion approximations every Canadian should know (1.00 kg ≈ 2.20 lb (mass) and 1.00 inch ≈ 2.54 cm), derive an approximation of 1.00 psi in Pa through unit conversions only (show each step).arrow_forward
- The gravitational constant g is 9.807 m/s2 at sea level, but it decreases as you go up in elevation. A useful equation for this decrease in g is g = a – bz, where z is the elevation above sea level, a = 9.807 m/s2, and b = 3.32 × 10–6 1/s2. An astronaut “weighs” 80.0 kg at sea level. [Technically this means that his/her mass is 80.0 kg.] Calculate this person’s weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station (z = 354 km). If the Space Station were to suddenly stop in its orbit, what gravitational acceleration would the astronaut feel immediately after the satellite stopped moving? In light of your answer, explain why astronauts on the Space Station feel “weightless.”arrow_forwardIn medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.arrow_forward74 PROBLEMS : A cube of wood floats in oil with a relative density of 0,78 so that half of the cube is out of the oil. The mass of the cube is 2 kg. (a) Determine the dimensions of the cube. [0,172 m] (b) To what depth will a 3 kg cube of the same wood sink in sea water with a density of 1 025 kg/m³ .

- In order to fnd the specifc heat c of an unknown substance, you place 75 g of the substance in a 30 g copper calorimeter that contains 65 g of water, all initially at 20 °C. You then add 100 g of water at 80 °C, and measure the fnal temperature of the system to be 49 °C. Assuming no heat is lost to the environment, what is c? [Answer: c = 2200 J/kg. K] 즈arrow_forward1. Find the force required to move a load of 300 N up a rough plane, the force being applied parallel to the plane. The inclination of the plane is such that a force of 60 N inclined at 30° to a similar smooth plane would keep the same load in equilibrium. The coefficient of friction is 0.3.

The temperature of the atmosphere decreases linearly with altitude at the rate of 0.0065 K.m. Calculate the height of the mountain. [Answer: 2317 m]arrow_forward36. In a car tire are 9.0 dm³ air at 12 °C under a inflation pressure of 2.2 bar. During a long journey, the air inside the tire warms up to 76 °C as a result of flexing and sunlight.

It is filled to a depth of 9.93 m with oil, having a coefficient of volumetric expansion of 4.4 x 10-4 / °C.
