- How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take He = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression air = 0ez/8, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.arrow_forwardMercury is poured into a U-tube as shown in Figure P15.17a. The left arm of the tube has cross-sectional area A1 of 10.0 cm2, and the right arm has a cross-sectional area A2 of 5.00 cm2. One hundred grams of water are then poured into the right arm as shown in Figure P15.17b. (a) Determine the length of the water column in the right arm of the U-tube. (b) Given that the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3, what distance h does the mercury rise in the left arm?arrow_forwardHow many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a light balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take Hc = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression pair = 0e-z/8 000, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.arrow_forward
- Refer to Problem 16 and Figure P14.16. A hydrometer is to be constructed with a cylindrical floating rod. Nine fiduciary marks are to be placed along the rod to indicate densities of 0.98 g/cm3, 1.00 g/cm3, 1.02 g/cm3, 1.01 g/cm3, 1.14 g/cm3. The row of marks is to start 0.200 cm from the top end of the rod and end 1.80 cm from the top end. (a) What is the required length of the rod? (b) What must be its average density? (c) Should the marks be equally spaced? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA liquid with a coefficient of volume expansion just fills a spherical shell of volume V (Fig. P16.53). The shell and the open capillary of area A projecting from the top of the sphere are made of a material with an average coefficient of linear expansion . The liquid is free to expand into the capillary. Assuming the temperature increases by T, find the distance h the liquid rises in the capillary.arrow_forwardThe spirit-in-glass thermometer, invented in Florence, Italy, around 1054, consists of a tube of liquid (the spirit) containing a number of submerged glass spheres with slightly different masses (Fig. P15.70). At sufficiently low temperatures, all the spheres float, but as the temperature rises, the spheres sink one after another. The device is a crude but interesting tool for measuring temperature. Suppose the tube is filled with ethyl alcohol, whose density is 0.789 45 g/cm3 at 20.0C and decreases to 0.780 97 g/cm3 at 30.0C. (a) Assuming that one of the spheres has a radius of 1.000 cm and is in equilibrium hallway up the tube at 20.0C, determine its mass. (b) When the temperature increases to 30.0C, what mass must a second sphere of the same radius have to be in equilibrium at the halfway point? (c) At 30.0C, the first sphere has fallen to the bottom of the tube. What upward force does the bottom of the tube exert on this sphere?arrow_forward
- Every day, Jill collects one full bucket of water from the well up the hill. The well has a diameter of 0.800 m and a depth of 3.00 m. Currently, only 65.3% of the well is full. If Jill collects one full bucket every day from today, and it takes her 851 days to empty the well, how many pints of water was she collecting per trip? 1 qt = 2 pints, 1 L = 1.06 qt, 1 m3 = 1000 L, V = πr2harrow_forwardWhich statement about isotherms of a cubic EOS is/are FALSE?

The seller tells you that the metal is gold. To check this, you compute the average density of the piece. What value do you get? Were you cheated?arrow_forward
- 1. a cubical object made of cast aluminum 0.224 m on a side contains a hollow cavity also in the shape of a cube but of unknown dimensions. If the mass of the object is 29.5 kg, what is the length of each side of the interior cubical cavity. density of Al = 2.70 103 kg/m3.arrow_forwardThe U.S. Mint produces a dollar coin called the American Silver Eagle that is made of nearly pure silver. This coin has a diameter of 41 mmmm and a thickness of 2.5 mmmm. The density and approximate market price of silver are 10.5 g/cm3g/cm3 and $0.58 per gram, respectively. Calculate the value of the silver in the coin, assuming its thickness is uniform. Express your answer in dollars to the nearest dollar.arrow_forwardA solid which has a density of 2.7 g/cm3 has a cavity inside.
