QUESTION 1
Discuss each of the following
(i) factors controlling the cooling rate of magma and its effect on rocks
(ii) The effect of structure and texture of magmatic rocks.
At 40 degree Celsius and 300,000Pa, the specific weight of a certain gas was 14,500N/cu.m. Determine the gas constant of the gas
Fluid Mechanics
Last Fall, researchers using an unmanned submarine discovered a coral reef at the unprecenented depth of 1/2 mile. The density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1025kg/m3 and the bulk modulus of elasticty of seawater is 2.34*109 Pa. A volume of air is taken downward to the coral reef. Assuming an absolute air pressure at the ocean surface of 1 atm, and that the air taken to the reef behaves as an isothermal gas.
Find the pressure of the air at that depth.
Find the fractional change in denisity and volume of the air at that depth.
