Chapter 18, Problem 52EAP

An electric generating plant boils water to produce high-pressure steam. The steam spins a turbine that is connected to the generator.

  1. How many liters of water must be boiled to fill a 5.0 m3 boiler with 50 atm of steam at 400°C?
  2. The steam has dropped to 2.0 atm pressure at 150°C as it exits the turbine. How much volume does it now occupy?

An electric power station that operates at 30 KV and uses a 15:1 set step-up ideal transformer is producing 400MW (Mega-Watt) of power that is to be sent to a big city with only 2.0% loss. What which is located 270 km away is the resistance of the Two wires that are being used? 52
Slink, from Toy Story, is a slinky dog whose middle section is a giant spring with a spring constant of 10.9 N/m. Woody, who has a mass of 0.412 kg, grabs onto the tail end of Slink and steps off the bed (as shown in figure A) with no initial velocity and reaches the floor right as his velocity hits zero again (as shown in figure C).
The character Min Min from Arms was a DLC character added to Super Smash Bros.  Min Min’s arms are large springs, with a spring constant of 8.53 ⋅ 10^3 N/m, which she uses to punch and fling away her opponents.  Min Min pushes her spring arm against Steve, who is not moving, compressing it 1.20 m as shown in figure A.  Steve has a mass of 81.6 kg.  Assuming she uses only the spring to launch Steve, how fast is Steve moving when the spring is no longer compressed? As Steve goes flying away he goes over the edge of the level, as shown in figure C.  What is the magnitude of Steve’s velocity when he is 2.00 m below where he started?
