Multiple-Concept Example 4 reviews the principles that play roles in this problem. A primitive diving bell consists of a cylindrical tank with one end open and one end closed. The tank is lowered into a freshwater lake, open end downward. Water rises into the tank, compressing the trapped air, whose temperature remains constant during the descent. The tank is brought to a halt when the distance between the surface of the water in the tank and the surface of the lake is 27.3 m. Atmospheric pressure at the surface of the lake is 1.01 x 105 Pa. Find the fraction of the tank's volume that is filled with air. V

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.

Step 1 (a) The ideal-gas equation describes each condition of the air in the tire. We will set up ratios in order to describe these changes. Dividing the equations PV = nRT in the initial and final states, we have PfVf Tf P¡Vi Ti Solving for the final pressure in the tire, gives Pf = = = which gives I Tf P(V)() P₁ Vf T₁ = (1.013 x 105 Pa) x 105 Pa. Note that the volume V¡ cancels out of the equation. = Vf Po = Pr (V ( ) ( ) Pd Pf Vi V₁ Step 2 (b) After the car is driven, the temperature and volume of air in the tire have changed. Let Td be the temperature and Vd be the volume of air in the tire. We have PdVd Td PfVf Tf' x 105 Pa 273 + 273 + Vf Vf Again we see that the volume Vf cancels out of the equation. °C K °℃ K = x 105 Pa.
The absolute pressure in your car tires is 3.7 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 35.0°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska a. What is the absolute pressure of the tires, in pascals, later when the temperature has dropped to -40.0°C? Assume the volume of each tire does not change.
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.
A smooth circular hole in the bottom of a metal cylinder is 0.04mm in diameter. Ethanol is filled into the cylinder until it drips from the hole. Since the surface tension of the ethanol wetting the metal at ambient temperature is 22.3 dyn / cm and its density is 0.789 g / cm3, what is the minimum height of the ethanol in the cylinder for dripping to begin?

In the middle of a horizontally positioned closed tube is a h = 20cm long column of Hg. Each side of the tube entraps a l = 0.5 m column of air. The atmospheric pressure is H = 100 KPA. When the tube is held vertically the column of Hg slides down with d = 10cm. By how much the column of Hg slide down from the middle of the tube if one end of the horizontally positioned tube is open.
Two students in a physics lab have to construct a constant-volume gas thermometer as part of their end of year project. They use liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and boiling pentane (36.1°C) to calibrate the thermometer. The corresponding values of pressure are 0.420 atm and 1.325 atm.
