Chapter 10: Problem 21

Atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 90 times that on Earth. A steel sphere with a bulk modulus of 160 GPa has a volume of \(1.00 \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) on Earth. If it were put in a pressure chamber and the pressure were increased to that of Venus (9.12 MPa), how would its volume change?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The approximate volume of the steel sphere on Venus is 0.99994363 cm³.

Step by step solution

01

Convert GPa to MPa

To maintain consistency between pressure units, we will convert the bulk modulus of steel from GPa to MPa by multiplying by 1000. 1 GPa = 1,000 MPa So, the bulk modulus B = 160 GPa × 1000 = 160,000 MPa
02

Calculate the change in pressure

We know that the atmospheric pressure on Venus is 90 times that of Earth. Since we are given the pressure on Venus (9.12 MPa), we can find Earth's pressure and calculate the change in pressure. Earth's pressure = Venus' pressure / 90 Earth's pressure = 9.12 MPa / 90 = 0.101 MPa Now, we can calculate the change in pressure (\(\Delta P\)) which is the difference between pressure on Venus and pressure on Earth. \(\Delta P\) = Pressure on Venus - Pressure on Earth \(\Delta P\) = 9.12 MPa - 0.101 MPa = 9.019 MPa
03

Calculate the change in volume

Using the formula for the change in volume due to pressure, we can now calculate the change in volume of the steel sphere (\(\Delta V\)). \(\Delta V = \frac{-V_0 \Delta P}{B}\) \(\Delta V = \frac{-(1.00 \mathrm{cm}^3)(9.019 \mathrm{MPa})}{160,000 \mathrm{MPa}}\) \(\Delta V \approx -0.00005637 \mathrm{cm}^3\)
04

Calculate the final volume of the sphere on Venus

Now we can find the final volume (\(V_f\)) of the sphere by adding the change in volume to the initial volume. \(V_f = V_0 + \Delta V\) \(V_f = 1.00 \mathrm{cm}^3 - 0.00005637 \mathrm{cm}^3\) \(V_f \approx 0.99994363 \mathrm{cm}^3\) The volume of the steel sphere on Venus would be approximately \(0.99994363 \mathrm{cm}^3\).

Abductin is an elastic protein found in scallops, with a Young's modulus of \(4.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2} .\) It is used as an inner hinge ligament, with a cross-sectional area of \(0.78 \mathrm{mm}^{2}\) and a relaxed length of \(1.0 \mathrm{mm} .\) When the muscles in the shell relax, the shell opens. This increases efficiency as the muscles do not need to exert any force to open the shell, only to close it. If the muscles must exert a force of $1.5 \mathrm{N}$ to keep the shell closed, by how much is the abductin ligament compressed?
How would the volume of \(1.00 \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) of aluminum on Earth change if it were placed in a vacuum chamber and the pressure changed to that of the Moon (less than \(10^{-9} \mathrm{Pa}\) )?
A mass-spring system oscillates so that the position of the mass is described by \(x=-10 \cos (1.57 t),\) where \(x\) is in \(\mathrm{cm}\) when \(t\) is in seconds. Make a plot that has a dot for the position of the mass at $t=0, t=0.2 \mathrm{s}, t=0.4 \mathrm{s}, \ldots, t=4 \mathrm{s}$ The time interval between each dot should be 0.2 s. From your plot, tell where the mass is moving fastest and where slowest. How do you know?
(a) What is the energy of a pendulum \((L=1.0 \mathrm{m}, m=\) $0.50 \mathrm{kg})\( oscillating with an amplitude of \)5.0 \mathrm{cm} ?$ (b) The pendulum's energy loss (due to damping) is replaced in a clock by allowing a \(2.0-\mathrm{kg}\) mass to drop \(1.0 \mathrm{m}\) in 1 week. What average percentage of the pendulum's energy is lost during one cycle?
In an aviation test lab, pilots are subjected to vertical oscillations on a shaking rig to see how well they can recognize objects in times of severe airplane vibration. The frequency can be varied from 0.02 to $40.0 \mathrm{Hz}\( and the amplitude can be set as high as \)2 \mathrm{m}$ for low frequencies. What are the maximum velocity and acceleration to which the pilot is subjected if the frequency is set at \(25.0 \mathrm{Hz}\) and the amplitude at \(1.00 \mathrm{mm} ?\)
