The surface pressure on Venus is 92 atm, and the acceleration due to gravity there is 0.894 g. In a future exploratory mission, an upright cylindrical tank of benzene is sealed at the top but still pressurized at 92 atm just above the benzene. The tank has a diameter of 1.72 m, and the benzene column is 11.50 m tall. Ignore any effects due to the very high temperature on Venus. (a) What total force is exerted on the inside surface of the bottom of the tank? (b) What force does the Venusian atmosphere exert on the outside surface of the bottom of the tank? (c) What total inward force does the atmosphere exert on the vertical walls of the tank?

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The surface pressure on Venus and on cylindrical benzene tank is 92 atm ,
  • Acceleration due to gravity is 0.884 g.
  • The diameter of tank is 1.72 m .
  • The height of the tank is 11.50 m .

Significance of Pascal’s law 

Pascal's law helps to identify the amount of pressure applied to lift or to move an object when a force perpendicular to the surface of the confined liquid is acting on it.

This pressure is equally and evenly distributed in all of the available directions of the liquid.

(a) Determination of the force exerted by Venus on the inside surface of the bottom of the tank

For the given tank of benzene, density and pressure, conversion are given by,

p of benzene = 90 kg/m3, 1atm = 1.01105Pa

By applying Pascal鈥檚 law, pressure can be expressed as,

p=p0+pgh

Here, p is the net pressure, p0 is the atmospheric pressure, p is the density of benzene, g is the acceleration due to gravity , and h is the height of tank

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1668164406748" p=p0+ghp=921.01105Pa+0.90103kg/m3(0.894)9.8m/s2(11.50m)=9.32106Pa+9.067104Pa=9.41106Pa


Net Pressure on the bottom of the tank is 9.41106Pa

Force acting on the area due to pressure is given by,

F = p A

Here, p is net pressure at the bottom of the tank and A is the area at the bottom of the tank.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

F=pA=9.41106Pa1.72m241N/m21PaF=2.19107N

Thus, the total force acting on the bottom of the tank is 2.19107N

04

(b) Determination of the force exerted by Venus on the outside surface of the bottom of the tank

Force exerted by the atmosphere of Venus on the outside surface of the bottom of the tank is given by,

F=p0A

Here, p0is the atmospheric pressure of the tank and is the area at the bottom of the tank.

Substitute values in the above equation.

F=9.32106Pa1.72m24=2.17107N

Thus, the force of Venus on the outer surface of the bottom of the water tank is 2.17107N.

05

(c) Determination of the total force exerted by Venus on vertical walls of the tank

The area on vertical walls of the tank is expressed as,

A=DL

Here, D is the diameter of the tank and L is the height of the tank.

Substitute all the values above,

A=(1.72m)(11.50m)=62.14m2

According to Pascal鈥檚 law, Atmospheric force exerted on vertical walls of the cylindrical tank is expressed as,

F=p0A

Here, p0is the atmospheric pressure of the tank, and is the area of vertical walls of the tank.

Substitute values in the above equation.

F=9.32106Pa62.14m21N/m21Pa=5.79108N

Thus, the force on the vertical walls of the tank is 5.79108N.

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?
