AI Thread Summary
To determine the amount of air leaving a cylindrical tube when heated, the volume and density of air are essential for calculating mass. The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) is crucial for finding the activated speed, which requires knowledge of pressure, volume, and temperature. When the tube is closed and the temperature is decreased, the new number of particles can also be calculated using the ideal gas law with the updated conditions. The pressure remains steady as the tube is open at the top, simplifying calculations. Understanding these principles allows for accurate calculations of air behavior in the tube under varying temperatures.

Hi to you all.i have an exercise i cannot solve.i think something is missing.

Cylindrical tube V=10L opened at the top has air with a temperature of T1=27 0C.We provide heat to the tube until the temperature reaches the value of T2=327 oC.A)we have to find the amount of air that leaves from the tube .
b)if we close at the top the tube and decrease the temperature to T3=127 oCwe have to find the activated speed.
c)what is the new number of particles.

i guess at the first question it requires the V of the air that leaves?I think that the pressure is steady as it is opened at the top the tube.so the pressure equals the pressure of the surrounding air.

How can i find the activated speed without knowing the consistency?i will assume it is one as we are talking about air?

thanks

for your help.A) To calculate the amount of air that leaves from the tube, you need to know the volume of the air (V) and the density of the air (ρ). The mass of air that leaves from the tube can be calculated using the equation: Mass = V * ρ. b) To find the activated speed, you will need to use the ideal gas law. The equation is PV = nRT, where P is the pressure of the air, V is the volume of the air, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant and T is the temperature. Rearranging the equation yields: v = (nRT/P). c) The new number of particles can be calculated using the ideal gas law equation again. This time, you will need to know the new volume (V2) and the new temperature (T3). The new number of particles can be calculated using the equation: n2 = (PV2)/(RT3).
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
