A Midwest Cooperative needs to store 15 750 gallons of a liquid chemical. They are considering two possible containers, a hollow cylinder or a hollow sphere. The wall of the sphere will need to be 6 in. thick and the wall, top and bottom of the cylinder are each 6 in. thick. Due to space limitations the height of the cylinder must be 26.0 ft. (a)What will be the outside diameter of the cylinder required to hold the liquid chemical? (b)What will be the outside diameter of the sphere? (c)Assume the containers are made of aluminum, which container uses the most material?

Make it short and simple. [1] A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 6 kg and cross-sectional area of 30 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 50 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 99 kPa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

1. An ingot of mass 1,148 kg contains copper, tin, and lead in the ratio 9:4:1. Calculate the value of the ingot if the price per tonne of the metals is copper: $ 1,250, lead: $ 680, tin: $ 8,600.
1.5 A reservoir exists at a temperature of 25 C suitable for storing gas. It has an areal size of 2.5 km' and is 20 m thick. The average porosity is 20% and there is no water present. How much gas (with the same composition as in Exercise 1.3) can be stored at a pressure 24 MPa?
The weight of a star is usually balanced by two forces: the gravitational force, acting inward, and the force created by nuclear reaction, acting outward. Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the gravitational collapse of the star and crushing atoms out of existence. Under such extreme conditions, protons and electrons are squeezed to form neutrons, giving birth to a neutron star. Neutron stars are massively heavy - a teaspoon of the substance of a neutron star would weigh 100 million metric tons on the Earth. a) Consider a neutron star whose mass is twice the mass of the Sun and whose radius is 13.3 km. (The mass of the Sun is 1.99-1030 kg.) If it rotates with a period of 2.57 s, what is the speed of a point on the Equator of this star? Submit Answer Tries 0/99 b) What is the value of g at the surface of this star? Submit Answer Tries 0/99 c) Compare the weight of a 1.30-kg mass on the Earth with its weight on the neutron star. How many…
[2] The density for compressible gases can be estimated using the ideal gas law where ρ = PMw/RT = P/R’T where R is the universal gas constant. What are the values and units of R and R’ in SI assuming that the gas is air?
A child takes a helium balloon on a plane from Denver (with an air pressure of 0.83 atm) on a cool day when the temperature is 20.0oC to Boston (at sea level, with an air pressure of 1.0 atm) where the temperature is 5.0oC. Assume that no gas escapes from the balloon during the flight. What is the volume of the balloon in Boston, relative to its size in Denver? Group of answer choices The volume in Boston is 0.79 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.20 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.87 times the volume in Denver The volume in Boston is 1.3 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is the same as the volume in Denver.
1. Clouds can weigh thousands of pounds due to their liquid water content. Often this content is measured in grams per cubic meter (g/m³). Assume that a cumulus cloud occupies a volume of one cubic kilometer, and its liquid water content is 0.2 g/m³. (a) What is the volume of this cloud in cubic miles? (b) How much does the water in the cloud weigh in pounds? 2. A tank of oil has a mass of 3 0 slugs. (a) Determine its weight in pounds and in newtons at the earth's surface. (b) What would be its mass (in slugs) and its weight (in pounds) if located on the moon's surface where the gravitational attraction is approximately one-sixth that at the earth's surface? 3. If p is a pressure, V a velocity, and p a fluid density, what are the dimensions (in the MLT system) of (a) p/p, (b) pvp, and (c) p/pV²? 4. The viscosity of a certain fluid is 5 x 104 poise.

Acetone (nail polish remover) has a density of 0.7857 g/cm^3. What is the mass, in g, of 28.56 mL of acetone?
Porosity is a measure of the void or empty spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume. The density of the solid material used to create 10 pieces of 1.05 cm diameter and 1.31 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 1.53 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 36 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 47.86 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 29%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution. Show your solutions in the next item (Kindly use GRESA, thank you) Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
