Question
In a dry-pipe sprinkler valve, the air seat typically has a surface area on which the air pressure acts six times as large as the water seat upon which the water pressure acts. If the water pressure is 105 psi, what air pressure is required to attain a state of equilibrium?
answer should be in ( psi )

- The spherical gas tank is fabricated by bolting together two hemispherical thin shells of thickness 30 mm. The gas contained in the tank is under a gauge pressure of 2.5 MPa. If the tank has an inner diameter of 8 m and is sealed with 900 bolts each 20 mm in diameter, determine the internal force carried by each bolt.arrow_forwardA pressure versus volume (pV) diagram for a system is shown in the figure. The arrows of the curve indicate the direction of the process, and the points of interest are labeled. The values for the points in the diagram are shown in the table.

Determine the magnitude, F, of the force acting on the shaft, in N, required if the gas pressure is 3 bar. The masses of the piston and attached shaft are 24.5 kg and 0.5 kg, respectively. The piston diameter is D = 10 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar. The piston moves smoothly in the cylinder and g = 9.81 m/s2.arrow_forward

- In the middle of a horizontally positioned closed tube is a h = 20cm long column of Hg. Each side of the tube entraps a l = 0.5 m column of air. The atmospheric pressure is H = 100 KPA. When the tube is held vertically the column of Hg slides down with d = 10cm. By how much the column of Hg slide down from the middle of the tube if one end of the horizontally positioned tube is open.arrow_forwardTwo bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 4.0 m/sm/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each travels before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psipsi and goes a distance of 17.2 mm ; the other is at 105 psipsi and goes a distance of 92.9 mm . Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the free-fall acceleration to be gg = 9.8 m/s2m/s2 . What is the coefficient of rolling friction μrμr for the second tire (the one inflated to 105 psipsi)?arrow_forward
