Chapter 9: Problem 6

The four tires of an automobile are inflated to a gauge pressure of \(2.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\). Each tire has an area of \(0.024 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) in contact with the ground. Determine the weight of the automobile.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The weight of the car is \(19200 N\).

Step by step solution

01

Knowing the formula and understanding the problem

In a physics context, the pressure of a fluid is defined as the force per unit area exerted on an object. Mathematically, this is written as: Pressure = Force / Area. In this problem, we are given the pressure (P) exerted by each tire and the area (A) of contact each tire has with the ground. We are asked to find the weight of the automobile, which is essentially the force (F) applied by the car due to gravity.
02

Calculate the total force

The force for one tire can be calculated by rearranging our formula to Force = Pressure * Area. Using the given values, the force (F) for one tire = \(2.0 * 10^{5} Pa\) * \(0.024 m^{2}\) = \(4800 N\) since Pascals = Newtons per square meter. As there are 4 tires, the total force = 4 * \(4800 N\) = \(19200 N\).
03

Convertion of force into weight

Since weight is just a force due to gravity, the weight of the car is equal to the total force that the tires exert on the ground; which we have calculated to be \(19200 N\).

The aorta in humans has a diameter of about \(2.0 \mathrm{~cm}\), and at certain times the blood speed through it is about \(55 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). Is the blood flow turbulent? The density of whole blood is \(1050 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\), and its coefficient of viscosity is \(2.7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\).

Whole blood has a surface tension of \(0.058 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\) and a density of \(1050 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\). To what height can whole blood rise in a capillary blood vessel that has a radius of \(2.0 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}\) if the contact angle is zero?

A \(200-\mathrm{kg}\) load is hung on a wire of length \(4.00 \mathrm{~m}\), cross-sectional area \(0.200 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\), and Young's modulus \(8.00 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\). What is its increase in length?

A cube of wood having an edge dimension of \(20.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) and a density of \(650 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) floats on water. (a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level? (b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface?

In about 1657 , Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P9.89). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then "with greatest difficulty," with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing. Find the force \(F\) required to pull the thin-walled evacuated hemispheres apart in terms of \(R\), the radius of the hemispheres, \(P\) the pressure inside the hemispheres, and atmospheric pressure \(P_{0}\).
