Calculate the capillary effect of a glass tube with an internal diameter of 6mm immersed in mercury with a surface tension of 0.51 N/m, a specific gravity of 13.55, and a contact angle of 140 degrees. Use SI units to express your answer.Please show complete solution.
Your roommate (not an engineering major) decides to display his aquarium on a shelf mounted to the wall. Even though you offer to help him find and use the wall studs, he decides to use two plastic drywall inserts (one for each shelf mount) and attach the shelf to the drywall as shown below. The mass of the board he uses as a shelf is 1.40 kg, the aquarium has a mass of 2.15 kg and is the same width and length as the shelf, the shelf brackets are essentially weightless, and the information on the pack of drywall mounts claims that they can withstand a force of 57.5 N before they are pulled from the drywalI. After getting the aquarium set up, your roommate runs a hose from the kitchen sink, starts to fill the aquarium, and you get all your books and papers off the floor. If water enters the tank at the rate of 0.24 kg/s, how long can water run into the tank before the drywall inserts fail? S S. s, = 10.0 cm s,= 20.0 cm = 25.0 cm F S2
3. compressed gas tank was filled with either oxygen or helium but the lab technician cannot remember which gas they used. The tank's volume is 2 ft³ and its total filled-weight is 20.3 lbs. The tank itself weighs 20 lbs. A pressure gage attached to the tank reads 12 psi and the laboratory is kept at 80 °F. Determine if the gas in the tank is helium or oxygen. Show your calculations and provide a 1-2 sentence explanation to justify your conclusion.
