The specific gravity of this wood IS U.80. Caitulatt the 3. Water is to be supplied up hill at 40 m high through a water pipeline. If the required velocity of water uphill is 5 m/sec and a pressure of 1.013 x 105 Pa, What must be the pressure of water at the source if the velocity is 10m/sec? (density of water is 1000 kg.m?) 95°C, the length
1. A bicycle pump inflates a tire of volume 565 mL until the gauge pressure is 6.47 bar at a temperature of 21.7°C. (Note: the volume of the tire before and after it is "inflated" is 565 mL. Initially, the tire contains air at ambient atmospheric pressure.) (a) If the barometric pressure is 1.01 bar, what is the absolute pressure in the tire? (b) (c) How many moles of air does the tire contain? What volume of air at 1.01 bar and 21.7°C did the pump transfer?
1.21 A team is designing a helium-filled balloon that will fly to an altitude of 80,000 ft. As the balloon ascends, the upward force (buoyant force) will need to exceed the total weight. Thus, weight is critical. Estimate the weight (in newtons) of the helium inside the balloon. The balloon is inflated at a site where the atmospheric pressure is 0.89 bar and the temperature is 22°C. When inflated prior to launch, the balloon is spherical (radius 1.3 m) and the inflation pressure equals the local atmospheric pressure.
