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.

Two very long line charges are set up along lines that areparallel to the z-axis, so they set up Electric fields strictly in the xy plane. One goes throughthe x-axis at x = −0.40 m and has charge a density λ1 = +12.0 μC/m, the other goesthrough the x-axis at x = +0.40 m has charge density λ2 = −8.0 μC/m.A. Find the Electric field at point A: (0.40, 0.80) (distances in meters). Give answersin unit vector notation and draw a graph of the x-y plane with the E-fields you justfound.B. Find a point on the x-axis at which the total E-field is 0.

In order to increase the amount of exercise in her daily routine, Tara decides to walk up the four flights of stairs to her car instead of taking the elevator. Each of the steps she takes are 18.0 cm high, and there are 12 steps per flight. (a) If Tara has a mass of 77.0 kg, what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the Tara-Earth system (in J) when she reaches her car? ] (b) If the human body burns 1.5 Calories (6.28 x 10³ J) for each ten steps climbed, how much energy (in J) has Tara burned during her climb? ] (c) How does the energy she burned compare to the change in the gravitational potential energy of the system? Eburned Δυ
