While you’re waiting for the ribs to cook, you muse about the propane tank of your barbecue. You’re curious about the volume of propane versus the actual tank size. Find the liquid propane volume when full (the weight of the propane is specified on the tank). Compare this to the tank volume (take some measurements, and approximate the tank shape as a cylinder with a hemisphere on each end). Explain the discrepancy.

- answer asap for upvoteskip if you already did this or else downvotearrow_forwardAfter years of asking, you finally were allowed to go on a joy ride in your uncle’s 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. A notable feature of this vehicle is the gullwing door design that opens from a hinge at the top of the car. Unfortunately, you are having so much fun driving the car that you end up submerged in a fresh water lake. You sink to the bottom of the lake, which has a depth of 10 m. For the sake of simplicity, you can model the door as a 1 m × 1 m square plate, inclined at 45° relative to the floor of the lake. Neglect the weight of the door and friction in the hinge. How much force will be required to open the door, assuming you push from its geometric center?arrow_forwardPls fast and correctarrow_forward
- The wolrd's oceans contain approximately 1.35x1021L of water. what is this volume in km3?arrow_forwardAcetone (nail polish remover) has a density of 0.7857 g/cm^3. What is the volume, in mL, of 6.54 g of acetone?arrow_forwardi dont really understand the explanation of part b or how they used trigonometry to get that. can you please help.arrow_forward

Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the gravitational collapse of the star and crushing atoms out of existence. Under such extreme conditions, protons and electrons are squeezed to form neutrons, giving birth to a neutron star. Neutron stars are massively heavy - a teaspoon of the substance of a neutron star would weigh 100 million metric tons on the Earth. a) Consider a neutron star whose mass is twice the mass of the Sun and whose radius is 13.3 km. (The mass of the Sun is 1.99-1030 kg.) If it rotates with a period of 2.57 s, what is the speed of a point on the Equator of this star? Submit Answer Tries 0/99 b) What is the value of g at the surface of this star? Submit Answer Tries 0/99 c) Compare the weight of a 1.30-kg mass on the Earth with its weight on the neutron star.

- In April 2010, the worst oil spill ever recorded occurred when an explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil-drilling rig left 11 workers dead and began releasing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. One of the attempts to contain the spill involved pumping drilling mud into the well to balance the pressure of escaping oil against a column of fluid (the mud) having a density significantly higher than those of seawater and oil.In the following problems, you may assume that seawater has a specific gravity of 1.03 and that a hypothetical subsea wellhead is 7167 ft below the surface of the Gulf. Gauge Pressure Estimate the gauge pressure (psig) in the Gulf at a depth of 7167 ft. ______psigarrow_forwardIn ship.arrow_forwardPls explain in DETAIL how did you come up with the solution.
