Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 23P
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.

The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 12.7 psi. You know that standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, so the booklet must mean 12.7 psi above atmospheric pressure. At what temperature in degrees Celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"?

- After 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_forwardIn addition to filling in the blanks below, show all of your work for this problem on paper for later upload.

You are a researcher at a company that makes pressure cookers, and you are in charge of designing the plug weights for pressure cookers. If the operating pressure of the stopper weight of the pressure cooker is 100kPa as the gauge pressure and the cross-sectional area of the steam outlet is 5mm', what should the mass of the stopper weight be? In addition, Mexico City is said to be about 75 to 80% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level at 2200m above sea level. If a pressure cooker is exported to Mexico City, what should be the mass of the stopper? Assume that the standard atmospheric pressure in Korea is 80% of the standard atmospheric pressure in Mexico City. (However, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s")arrow_forward5arrow_forward
