An insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 300 l of air at 120 kpa and 17°c. the
air is now heated for 15 minutes by a 200-w resistance heater placed inside the cylinder.
the pressure of the air is maintained constant during this process. determine the entropy
change of the air assuming (15 points)
a. constant specific heats
b. variable specific heats

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?

If a balloon is taken outside on a very cold day, what will occur?

Apotter's wheel moves uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 0.20 rev/s in 32.0 s. (a) find its angular acceleration in radians per second per second. rad/s2 (b) would doubling the angular acceleration during the given period have doubled final angular speed?
