Exploring Venus. The surface pressure on Venus is 92 atm, and the acceleration due to gravity there is 0.894g. In a future exploratory mission, an upright cylindrical tank of benzene is scaled at the top but still pressurized at 92 atm just above the benzene. The tank has a diameter of 1.72 m. and the benzene column is 11.50 m tall. Ignore any effects due to the very high temperature on Venus, (a) What total force is exerted on the inside surface of the bottom of the tank? (b) What force does the Venusian atmosphere exert on the outside surface of the bottom of the tank? (c) What total inward force does the atmosphere exert on the vertical walls of the tank?

- How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take He = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression air = 0ez/8, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.arrow_forwardAtmospheric pressure atop Mt. Everest is 4 2 3.30x10 N/m . (a) What is the partial pressure of oxygen there if it is 20.9% of the air? (b) What percent oxygen should a mountain climber breathe so that its partial pressure is the same as at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is 1.01 × 10^5 N/m^2 ?arrow_forwardA mixture of water (density=1000 kg/m3) and vapor flowing with a mass rate = 7 kg/sec in a pipe of 1000 m long and 50 mm diameter, the gas fraction is 20%,then the volumetric rate of the water is: 1arrow_forward

Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.arrow_forwardSaturn's moon Titan has a mass of 1.3452 x 1023 kg , a diameter of 5,150 km, and an atmosphere made mostly of N2 at a constant temperature of -179 degrees Celsius. Assume that the pressure at the surface is 50% more than on Earth. What is your best estimate of Titan's atmosphere's R constant?arrow_forwardQ: Atmospheric pressure on the peak of Kilimanjaro can be as low as 0.20 atm. If the volume of an oxygen tank is 10.0L, at what pressure must the tank be filled so the gas inside would occupy a volume of 1.2 x 103L at this pressure?arrow_forward
- A bicycle tire has a pressure of 6.75 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 19°C and contains 2.00 L of gas. a) What will its pressure be, in pascals, if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 110 cm3 at atmospheric pressure and at the temperature of the tire? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.arrow_forwardA fixed amount of gas occupies a volume of 1.75L and exerts a pressure of 95kpa on the walls of its container . What would be the pressure exerted by the gas if it's completely transferred into a new container having a volume of 0.5L(assuming the temperature and quantity of gas remains constant)arrow_forwardAstronomers have recently discovered a new planet in a faraway solar system with a radius of roughly 1211 km. Spectroscopic results indicate that the atmosphere, whose height is much smaller than the planet's radius, is largely helium, making the discovery truly controversial. Experts have deduced that helium is unlikely to be generated from the planet itself, therefore it is assumed that the helium in the atmosphere was created at the inception of the planet and is completely contained by its gravitational attraction. However, wide disagreement abounds about the composition of the planet. The surface of the planet is clearly composed of aluminum oxide, but some astronomers claim that this aluminum oxide is only a thin crust and that the planet is mostly iron. Given that the atmospheric temperature is 562 ∘C, calculate the minimum density ? of the planet so that its atmosphere could contain helium atoms. The molar mass of helium is 4.002 g/mol and the gravitational constant is…arrow_forward

Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. A) what is the final pressure, in pascals, in the tank assuming negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change ? B) What is the final pressure in pascals if one tenth of the gas escapes during the process? C) to what tempature in kelvins must tank be cooled from inital state to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and there is no leakage during cooling)?arrow_forwardMany fish maintain buoyancy with a gas-filled swim bladder. The pressure inside the swim bladder is the same as the outside water pressure, so when a fish descends to a greater depth, the gas compresses. Adding gas to restore the original volume requires energy. A fish at a depth where the absolute pressure is 3.0 atm has a swim bladder with the desired volume of 5.0 × 10-4 m3. The fish now descends to a depth where the absolute pressure is 5.0 atm.a. The gas in the swim bladder is always the same temperatureas the fish’s body. What is the volume of the swim bladder at the greater depth?b. The fish remains at the greater depth, slowly adding gas to the swim bladder to return it to its desired volume.
