Measuring CO2 pressure in a soda bottle

AI Thread Summary
Testing CO2 pressure in a soda bottle at home is feasible with the right equipment. A pressure gauge and thermometer are essential for measuring CO2 levels and temperature. It may be necessary to transfer the soda to a different container that accommodates these instruments. Components can typically be found at home improvement or hardware stores. This experiment can effectively demonstrate how CO2 pressure varies with temperature changes.

Is it possible to test the CO2 pressure in a soda bottle as simple science project that can be done at home? What kind of apparatus is need? The original goal is to test if CO2 pressure changes at different temperatures. It would be helpful if anybody had any suggestions on how to go about performing this experiment.

Hi chantybell,

Sure it's possible. You'll just need some type of pressure gauge and a thermometer that will measure the respective properties. You may have to put the soda in a different container that has a proper fitting for the gauge and thermometer though.

A home improvement or hardware store will likely have an apparatus or at least the parts for you to make one as well as the pressure gauge and thermometer.

Good Luck!

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
