2) The pump of a water distribution system is powered by an electric motor whose efficiency is 80% with a shaft that is 97% efficient and a pump that is 60% efficient. The water flow rate through the pump is 0.2 m³/s. What is the total efficiency of the pump/motor assembly? The diameters of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same, and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressures at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be 70 kPa and 720 kPa (absolute), respectively, determine the electrical consumption of the pump.

A room has a width of 14.1 feet, a length of 15.5 feet, and a ceiling height of 12.0 ft. The average flow rate for this room's air conditioning unit is 3.07 m^3/s. How many SECONDS will it take for the air conditioner to cycle the volume of air in the room?
A cylinderis fitted with a piston beneath which is a spring, as in the attachment. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. The sprink constant is 4300 N/m. The piston has negligible mass and a radius of 0.032. When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress? How much work does the atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring.

An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air. ▼ Part A Consider a 3.9 kg freshwater fish whose tissues have an average density of 1050 kg/m³. To what volume in mL must the swim bladder be inflated for the fish to be neutrally buoyant at the surface? Express your answer in milliliters to two significant figures.

A cylinder containing ideal gas is sealed by a piston that is above the gas. The piston is a cylindrical object, with a weight of 22.0 N, which can slide up or down in the cylinder without friction. The inner radius of the cylinder, and the radius of the piston, is 8.00 cm. The top of the piston is exposed to the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. The cylinder has a height of 30.0 cm, and, when the temperature of the gas is 20°C, the bottom of the piston is 11.0 cm above the bottom of the cylinder. (A) Find the number of moles of ideal gas in the cylinder. (B) Heat is added, gradually raising the temperature of the gas to 160°C. Calculate the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the bottom of the piston when the piston comes to its new equilibrium position.
