a fluid with a low specific gravity can be used instead of water to determine volumes of objects that would otherwise float in water
to which side of a hydraulic life would the operator usually apply a force - the side with the larger cross sectional area, or the side with the smaller cross sectional area? why?

(A) 45.63
(B) 67.74
(C) 89.40
(D) 112.89
B) 67.74
F1/A1 = F2/A2 (9.67)/(1.89) = F2/(13.24) F2 = approx. 70 N (actual: 67.74)

What is the equation for buoyancy force?
Buoyancy Force = Weight of liquid displaced (in N) = Vρg

True or false? My buoyant force in a fluid with a low specific gravity ( <1)will be greater than my buoyant force in water.
False. My buoyant force in a fluid with a low specific gravity ( <1)will be LESS than my buoyant force in water.
This is because that buoyant force is dependent upon the weight of the fluid displaced, so a more dense (higher specific gravity) fluid will have a stronger buoyant force!

Buoyant force = Vρg
46.57 = V (1000)(9.8)
V = 4.9⋅10^-3 m^3 (actual: 4.75⋅10^-3 m^3)

Water is flowing through a pipe of varying cross sectional area down a hill with a velocity of 10 m/s at the top and 20 m/s at the bottom. Over this distance, the pipe goes from a height of 10 m to a height of 0 m. The water is at a pressure of 1,000,000 Pascals at the top.

(B) 950,000
(C) 1,240,000
(D) 1,560,000

P1 + 1/2ρv1^2 + ρgh1 = P2 + 1/2ρv2^2 + ρgh2
(1000000) + (.5)(1000)(10^2) + (1000)(10)(10) = P2 + (.5)(1000)(20^2) + (1000)(10)(0)
1150000= P2 + 200000 P2 = 950,000 Pa

v1A1 = v2A2 = Flow Rate = R v1 = R/4 v2 = R/(.25) = 4R
P1 + 1/2ρv1^2 + ρgh1 = P2 + 1/2ρv2^2 + ρgh2
(200,000) + (.5)(1000)(R/4)^2 + (1000)(9.8)(h) = (100,000) + (.5)(1000)(4R)^2 +(1000)(9.8)(h)
Subtract (1000)(9.8)(h) from each side
(200,000) + (.5)(1000)(R/4)^2 = (100,000) + (.5)(1000)(4R)^2
100,000 + ( 500)(R/4)^2 = 500 (4R)^2
100,000 = 500 ((4R)^2-(R/4)^2)
simplify by actually squaring the flow rates and dividing by 500 on both sides
200=16R^2 - R^2/16
200=(255/16)R^2
12.54=R^2 (Approximately 10)
3.54=R (Approximately 3)

Q = velocity x Area Q = (1000 m/s)(π(2)^2) Q = 4000π m^3/s
Q = (∆Pπr^4)/(8ηL)
4000π m^3/s = (1,000 Pa)(π)(2^4)/((8)(η)(4))
η = 16,000π/(128,000π) = 0.125 Pa·s

Critical speed = .approx. .4 (actual: .38 m/s)
How does the critical speed change as the density of the fluid is increased?
The critical speed decreases.
What is the venturi effect?
When there is a constriction in a tube, the velocity of the fluid will increase at that point while the pressure will be lower.
This is because the same volume must flow through all parts of a connected pipe at a given time.

In a sealed balloon, there are 0.3 moles of a gas. When the temperature of the balloon increases, which of the following scenarios could NOT occur, according to the Ideal Gas Law?
(A) Increased Pressure and Volume of the balloon.
(B) Increased Pressure and Decreased Volume of the balloon.

(D) Decreased Pressure and Volume of the balloon.
(D) Decreased Pressure and Volume of the balloon.
Because one side of the PV = nRT equation has increased (by increasing the temperature), the other side must also increase. Decreasing both Pressure and Volume could not increase the left side of the Ideal Gas Law equation, and would not occur.
If a rigid container has 1 mole of gas in it, and the pressure is increased by adding more gas from 101,325 Pa to 303,975 Pa, how much gas was added (in moles)?
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(B) 2
n1 = 1 mol P1 = 101,325 Pa P2 = 303,975 Pa
Rearrange Ideal gas law: R =PV/nT
P1V1/n1T1 = P2V2/n2T2
Volume and temperature are held constant, so
P1/n1 = P2/n2
101,325/1 = 303,975/n2
n2 = 3 mol
Amount added = n2-n1 = 2 mol
Van der Waals equation can be represented as ( P0 + a(n/V)^2 )(Vc - nb) = nRT What is the difference between this and the ideal gas law (PV = nRT)? Why do we need this equation?
The Van der Waals takes into account two adjustments for the non-ideal behavior of real gases. Because the molecules of real gases take up space and have intermolecular interactions, pressure and volume need to be adjusted. This is where the a and b terms come from.
Van der Waals equation can be represented as ( P0 + a(n/V)^2 )(Vc - nb) = nRT. What do the terms a and b respectively adjust for?
a adjusts for intermolecular interactions
b adjusts for the space that molecules take up.
Explain why the modified van der Waals equation will lead to larger Pressures and smaller Volumes than are predicted by the Ideal Gas Law?
The interactions between molecules caused by Intermolecular forces will decrease the collisions, and the collisions that do occur won’t be perfectly elastic, so some energy will be lost. Attractive force between gas molecules will also contribute to the increased Pressure.
Also, the fact that the particles take up volume decreases the amount of space for particles to freely move in. Since Volume in these equations refers to unoccupied space, the Volume decreases in the van der Waals equation.
True or false? The quantities a and b in the modified van der Waals equation will be greater for larger molecules with greater intramolecular forces.
False. The quantities a and b in the modified van der Waals equation will be greater for larger molecules with greater intermolecular forces.
