- The 12-ft wide quarter-circular gate AB is hinged at A. Determine the contact force between the gate and the smooth surface at B due to water pressure acting on the gate. Use =62.4lb/ft3 for water.arrow_forwardFind the difference in pressure between tanks A and B in kPa shown in Fig. 2-64 if d1, d2, d3, and d4 are equal to 320 mm,150 mm,494 mm, and 166 mm, respectively.arrow_forwardConsider two identical glasses of water, one stationary and the other moving on a horizontal plane with constant acceleration. Assuming no splashing or spilling occurs, which glass will have a higher pressure at the (a) front, (b) midpoint, and (c) back of the bottom surface?arrow_forward
- this solution doesnt give the final answer of finding the pressure at point Aarrow_forwardThe perpendicular dimension of the cylindrical surface abcde in the figure to the plane of the figure is 6 m, and the radius of the circular surfaces is R=2.5 m. According to this; a)Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the pressure force exerted by water on the cylindrical surface in abcde.(Fhorizontal?Fvertical?) b)Determine the vertical distance from the point of action of the horizontal component of the pressure force acting on the cylindrical surface of abcde to the point e, and the horizontal distance from the point of action of the vertical component of the pressure force to the line ace.(Fhorizontal?Fvertical?)arrow_forwardThe clear plastic bottles used for carbonated beverages (sometimes also called “soda,” “pop,” or “soda pop”) are made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). The “fizz” in pop results from dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2); because PET is permeable to CO2, pop stored in PET bottles will eventually go “flat” (i.e., lose its fizz). A 20-oz. bottle of pop has a CO2 pressure of about 485 kPa inside the bottle, and the CO2 pressure outside the bottle is 0.6 kPa. The Permeability Constant of the PET bottle is 0.23 x 10^-13 cm3@STP.cm/cm2.s.Pa. Note: assume that each bottle has a surface area of 500 cm2 and a wall thickness of 0.07 cm. If the bottle must lose 750 (cm3 STP) of CO2 before the pop tastes flat, what is the shelf life in days for a bottle of pop? Round your answer to 0 decimal places.arrow_forward
- The U pipe in the figure has a diameter of 1 cm and stands in balance as shown in the figure. When 20 cm3 of water is added to the right arm and they come back to equilibrium, calculate the fluid levels in each arm. Take the relative density of mercury as 13.6 and the density of water as 1000 kg / m3.arrow_forward5. What is the pressure at the bottom of the 7.5 m tall storage tank of fluid at 25°C? Assume that the fluid is gasoline with atmospheric pressure 101 kPa on the top surface. Repeat the question for the liquid refrigerant R- 134a when the top surface pressure is 1 MPa. The densities of the liquids are: pgasoline = 750 kgm; PR-134a = 1206 kg/m2. %3Darrow_forwardConsider a piston/cylinder assembly with a cross sectional area of 0.15 m2 that has compressed a spring. The pressure in the cylinder enclosed by the piston is 180 kPa and the floating pressure of the piston (the pressure required to float the piston without a spring) is 110 kPa. Determine the force exerted by the spring in [kN]. Include 3 significant figures in your final answer.arrow_forward

(ii) Calculate the ground pressure under the full tank (in kPa)neglecting the weight of the tank.arrow_forwardThe 0.5-m-radius semi-circular gate is hinged through the top edge AB. Find the required force to be applied at the center of gravity to keep the gate closed.arrow_forwardThe clear plastic bottles used for carbonated beverages (sometimes also called “soda,” “pop,” or “soda pop”) are made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). The “fizz” in pop results from dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2); because PET is permeable to CO2, pop stored in PET bottles will eventually go “flat” (i.e., lose its fizz). A 20-oz. bottle of pop has a CO2 pressure of about 570 kPa inside the bottle, and the CO2 pressure outside the bottle is 7 kPa. Assuming conditions of steady-state, calculate the diffusion flux in cm3 at STP/cm2.s of CO2 through the wall of the bottle. The Permeability Constant of the PET bottle is 0.23 x 10^-13 cm3@STP.cm/cm2.s.Pa. Note: assume that each bottle has a surface area of 500 cm2 and a wall thickness of 0.07 cm.
