An office window has dimensions 3.4mby2.1m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to0.96atm, but inside the pressure is held at1.0atm. What net force pushes out on the window?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net force on the window is F=2.9×104N.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Dimensions of the window are 3.4m×2.1m.
  2. Internal pressure,pi=1.0atm
  3. Outer pressure,po=0.96atm
02

Understanding the concept of pressure applied

We can find the applied pressure on the window from the inside pressure and the outside pressure Then we can find the area from the given dimensions of the window. Using this pressure and area, we can find the net force on the window.

Formula:

Pressure on the body through applied force F on a given area A,

p=FA (i)

03

Calculation of the net force on the window

The net applied pressure on the window can be given as:

p=pi-po=1.0atm-0.96atm=0.04atm=0.04×1.013×105Pa∵1atm=1.013×105Pa=4052Pa

Again, area of the window,

A=3.4×2.1=7.14m2

Hence using equation (i) and the above values of p and A, the force on the window can be given as:

F=p×A=4052Pa×7.14m2=28931.28N=2.9×104N

Therefore, the net force on the window is 2.9×104N.

A boat with an anchor on board floats in a swimming pool that is somewhat wider than the boat. Does the pool water level move up, move down, or remain the same if the anchor is (a) dropped into the water or (b) thrown onto the surrounding ground? (c) Does the water level in the pool move upward, move downward, or remain the same if instead; a cork is dropped from the boat into the water, where it floats?

Water is moving with a speed of 5.0msthrough a pipe with a cross-sectional area of 4.0cm2. The water gradually descends as the pipe cross-sectional area increases to 8.0cm2.

(a) What is the speed at the lower level?

(b) If the pressure at the upper level is 1.5×105Pa, What is the pressure at the lower level?

A block of wood has a mass of 3.67 kgand a density of 600kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead ( 1.14×10-4kg/m3) so that it will float in water with 0.900of its volume submerged. (a)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the top of the wood? (b)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the bottom of the wood?

Models of torpedoes are sometimes tested in a horizontal pipe of flowing water, much as a wind tunnel is used to test model airplanes. Consider a circular pipe of internal diameter 25.0cmand a torpedo model aligned along the long axis of the pipe. The model has a 5.00cmdiameter and is to be tested with water flowing past it at 2.50ms.

(a) With what speed must the water flow in the part of the pipe that is unconstricted by the model?

(b) What will the pressure difference be between the constricted and unconstricted parts of the pipe?

Question: To suck lemonade of density 1000 kg/m3up a straw to a maximum height of 4.0 cm, what minimum gauge pressure (in atmospheres) must you produce in your lungs?
