When gasoline is burned in the cylinder of an engine, it creates a high pressure that pushes on the piston. If the pressure is 100 pound-force per square inch [psi], and it moves the 4-inch [in] diameter piston a distance of 5 centimeters [cm] in 0.2 seconds [s], how much horsepower [hp] does this action produce?
(Hand by written. )
A 4.5-centimeter [cm] radius cylindrical tank holds a liquefied version of a new polymeric compound for space flight to Mars. The tank is pressurized to prevent evaporation at a surface pressure of 1.38 bar
[bar]. A total pressure probe located at the bottom of the tank reads 21.45 pound-force per square inch [psi]. If the specific gravity of the gel is 8.9, what is the mass of gel contained in the tank in units of
kilograms [kg]? Assume acceleration due to gravity simulated on the spacecraft to be 8.4 meters per second squared [m/s].
Click the icon to view the conversion table.
The mass of the gel is .02 kg. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
