Concept explainers

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem …

Textbook Question

Chapter 15, Problem 109PP

Doughnuts are cooked by dropping the dough into hot vegetable oil until it changes from white to a rich, golden brown. One popular brand of doughnut automates this process; the doughnuts are made on an assembly line that customers can view in operation as they wait to order. Watching the doughnuts cook gives the customers time to develop an appetite as they ponder the physics of the process.

First, the uncooked doughnut is dropped into hot vegetable oil, whose density is ρ = 919 kg/m³. There it browns on one side as it floats on the oil. After cooking for the proper amount of time, a mechanical lever flips the doughnut over so it can cook on the other side. The doughnut floats fairly high in the oil, with less than half of its volume submerged. As a result, the final product has a characteristic white stripe around the middle where the dough is always out of the oil, as shown in Figure 15-54.

Chapter 15, Problem 109PP, Doughnuts are cooked by dropping the dough into hot vegetable oil until it changes from white to a , example 1

The relationship between the density of the doughnut and the height of the white stripe is graphed in Figure 15-55. On the x axis we plot the density of the doughnut as a fraction of the density of the vegetable cooking oil; the y axis shows the height of the white stripe as a fraction of the total height of the doughnut. Notice that the height of the white stripe is plotted for both positive and negative values.

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you

A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
