Tamsen is interested in history, and read that because of its regular period, the pendulum constituted the basis of the most accurate clocks for nearly 300 years. christian huygens (1629-1695), the greatest clockmaker in history, suggested that an international unit of length could be defined as the length of a simple pendulum having a period of exactly 1 s.
vera and tamsen discuss how much shorter the si unit of length, the meter, would have had to be had huygens' suggestion been followed.
which of their conclusions is correct?

a) 0.025 m b) 0.752 m c) 0.248 m d) 1.56 m

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 k, with a volumetric flow rate of 93 m3/min and exits at 12 bar, 400 k. heat transfer occurs at a rate of 15.5 kw from the compressor to its surroundings. assuming the ideal gas model for air neglecting kinetic potential energy effects, determine the power in put in kw.

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

An electric current is flowing through the cord below.what will happen to this current if a magnet is brought near the cord? a. the electric current will stop flowing. b. it will exert a force on the voltage. c. the resistance of the wire will decrease. d. it will exert a force on the electric current.
