AI Thread Summary

To solve for the volume of 4.5 kg of water at Normal Temperature and Pressure (N.T.P.) with zero intermolecular forces, the ideal gas equation PV=nRT is applicable. First, convert the mass of water to moles, using the molar mass of water (approximately 18 g/mol). This results in about 250 moles of water. At N.T.P., where P is 1 atm and T is 273.15 K, substituting these values into the ideal gas equation allows for the calculation of volume. The final volume occupied by the water under these conditions is approximately 5,600 liters.

Sir,
Please help me with this problem.
# If the intermolecular forces vanish away, what will be the volume occupied by the molecules contained in 4.5 kg of water at N.T.P condition?

If there are no intermolecular forces the ideal gas eqn can be applied.
PV=nRT
Can u go from here?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
