HOMEWORK 6: Chapter 8 1)
How can you increase the pressure exerted by this book on a tabletop without increasing its weight? Pressure is defined as force exerted per unit area, so the pressure is increased if you reduce the area over which a force is applied. 8) Why is a dam constructed with a very broad base, as shown in Figure 8.28? The base of the dam must hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base. 13) What are the effects of the Clean Air Act on the use of coal for electric generating plants? Check the Web. The effects of the Clean Air Act are to check the lead, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides, and particulates in the air. Problems: 271- 273 27) Calculate the pressure exerted on your finger if you hold up a 15 -lb box of apples. Pressure = Force/Area P = 15 lb/ (0.5 in *3 in) = 15/1.5 = 10 psi 28)What is the pressure exerted by your finger if you had hold back water leaking through a hold in a dike, as shown in Figure 8.29? 1 ft = 0.305 meters 10 ft = 3.048 meters G = 9.81 m/s^2 Lw = density of H2O = 1000 kg/m^3 Pressure = Lw x g x h = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.3048 Pressure exerted by finger = 2990 Pa = 0.43366 Psi Pressure exerted by finger = 0.43366 Psi 33) A 1000 – Mwe plant uses coal with 3% sulfur content. How many tons of SO2 will be emitted into the air during the operation of the plant for a day? (Use the list of conversions and equivalences located on the inside back cover.) 1000/ 0.3 = 30 30 x 2 = 60 tons of SO2
HOMEWORK 7: Chapter 9 (303 – 304)
#1 Why does deforestation contribute to global warming? Deforestation contributes to global warming because trees store carbon and release it back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when they are chopped down. #13 How much CO2 is produced by driving 100 miles, drying a load of clothes, and watching five hours of television? (See Tables 9.4 and 10.2) Driving 100 miles = CO2 released per gallon fuel x Total fuel = CO2 released per gallon fuel x Fuel Consumed per mile x Total distance = 20 lbs/ gal x 1/20 gal/ miles x 100 miles = 100 lbs
Drying a load of clothes = CO2 released per kWh x Total Power = CO2 released per kWh x Fuel Consumed per hour x Total time = 2 lbs/ kWh x 5 kwH x ½ hrs = 5lbs
Watching 5 hrs of tv = CO2 released per kWh x Total = 2 lbs/ kWh x 0.15 kWh x 5 hrs = 1.5 lbs
#20 If the temperature of the water leaving the condenser in a stream turbine cycle were raised from 20*C to 30*C, what would be the decrease in the Carnot efficiency? Assume a steam temperature of 500*C. (See Chapter 4) Initial temperature of the condenser, Ti = 20*C = 293 K New temperature of the condenser. Tn = 30*C =303K Temperature of the steam, TH = 500*C = 773K Initial Carnot efficiency: Ni = 1 – 293/773 Ni = 0.6210 Ni = 1 – 0.3790 Ni = 62.10%
New Carnot efficiency: Nn = 1 – 303/773 Nn = 0.6080 Nn = 1 – 0.3920 Nn = 60.80%
N = Ni – Nn N = 62.10 – 60,80 = 1.3%

Are you as strong as a horse?
Purpose: To understand the concept of work and power and to calculate the power
generated by yourself or a friend.
Materials: A tape measure, stairs, and a stopwatch, cell phone, or wristwatch.
Key Physics Concept: Power is the rate of doing work. Power can be calculated by
dividing the work done by the time it takes to do the work; in this case we will do work
against gravity on a stair case (you may add your power in doing pushups to test your
arm power). Can you guess what your peak horsepower is?
You may do the stairs one at
at time or multiple stairs at a
a time; whatever is most safe
and efficient for you.
Procedure:
Observations:
Analysis:
Conclusions:
Application:
1. Will your hp change if you performed the activity for a longer duration (for example,
climbed the CN tower staircase)? In what way? Explain.
2. Research the horsepower generated by a car. How does the average person's peak
power rating compare to it? How many average people would it…

You have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the
Earth. The design of the space station is shown.
It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 47,000 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure
have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer
cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 150 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model
the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this
deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached
tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. Your supervisor asks you to determine the following: (a) the time interval
during which the rockets must be fired if each…
