Chapter 15: Problem 15

The density of molasses is \(1600 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} .\) Find the mass of the molasses in a \(0.75-\) L jar.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of the molasses in a \(0.75-\) L jar is \(1.2 \mathrm{kg}\).

Step by step solution

01

Convert Volume to \(\mathrm{m}^{3}\)

Volume in \(\mathrm{m}^{3} = volume\) in \(L \times 10^{-3} = 0.75 L \times (1 \mathrm{m}^{3} / 1000 L) = 0.00075 \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
02

Apply the formula for Mass

\(mass = density \times volume = 1600 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \times 0.00075 \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
03

Multiply to Find the Mass

By multiplying the density and the volume, we get \(mass = 1600 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \times 0.00075 \mathrm{m}^{3} = 1.2 \mathrm{kg}\).

Commercial aircraft cabins are usually pressurized to the pressure of the atmosphere at about \(2 \mathrm{km}\) above sea level. Why don't you feel the lower pressure on your entire body?

At a hearing on a proposed wind farm, a wind-energy advocate says an installation of 800 turbines, with blade diameter \(95 \mathrm{m}\) could displace a \(1-\) GW nuclear power plant. You're asked if that's really possible. How do you answer, given an average wind speed of \(12 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and a turbine power output that averages \(30 \%\) of the theoretical maximum?

Compressed air with mass \(8.8 \mathrm{kg}\) is stored in a \(0.050-\mathrm{m}^{3}\) cylinder. (a) What's the density of the compressed air? (b) What volume would the same gas occupy at a typical atmospheric density of \(1.2 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{2} ?\)

A balloon contains gas of density \(\rho_{\mathrm{g}}\) and is to lift a mass \(M,\) including the balloon but not the gas. Show that the minimum mass of gas required is \(m_{\mathrm{g}}=M \rho_{\mathrm{g}} /\left(\rho_{\mathrm{a}}-\rho_{\mathrm{g}}\right),\) where \(\rho_{\mathrm{a}}\) is the atmos- pheric density.
