AI Thread Summary
Altitude, pressure, and temperature significantly impact airship gas dynamics. As altitude increases, pressure decreases, causing the gas inside the airship to expand. When temperature rises, gas also expands, but if temperature decreases proportionally with pressure, the gas volume remains stable. However, in practice, pressure typically falls faster than temperature, leading to further gas expansion. Understanding these relationships is crucial for airship design and operation.

Ok i need to know this for an essay I'm doign can someone explain to me the effect that changes in altitude pressure and temperature effect the gas inside the airship?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
IF pressure drops gas expands if tempreture rises gas expands. So if the tempreture falls propotionaly to the fall in pressure then the gas stays the same volume. However this isn't the case and the pressue falls faster than the tempreture so the gas expands. should help
 
thanks its coming along well

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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...
