Find the elongation of a rod made of aluminum and copper under a tension of 5.8×103 N. The dimensions of the rod are R=0.5 cm, LAl=10.5 m, LCu=5.5 m (Young moduli are 7.0×1010 Pa for Al and 11×1010 Pa for Cu)
A rain gauge consists of a funnel with a diameter D = 10 cm that collects rain and deposits liquid water of density ρ = 1 × 103 kg / m^3 inside a cylinder of diameter d = 1 cm. The column of collected liquid rises at the rate of one centimeter per minute.
a) If the raindrops fall into the funnel with a velocity of 10 m / s, calculate the mass of water liquid in a cubic meter of the atmosphere.
b) Assuming that the raindrops have a radius of 1 mm, determine the number of drops in a cubic meter of the atmosphere. Justify your calculation method.
The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean and has a depth of approximately 1.10 x 104 m. The density of seawater is 1.03 x 103 kg/m3. If a diving chamber were to explore such depths, what force would the water exert on the chamber’s observation window (radius = 0.10 m)?
