What is the name for pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere?
Simply put, atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on a measuring point by the weight of the air molecules on top of that point. Standard atmospheric pressure, measured at sea level at 59F or 15C, is used as a reference point and is equal to 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013 millibars of pressure.
Why hydraulic machines are called force multipliers?
Consider a hydraulic machine such as a press. The pump in one of these machines might produce a pressure of, say, 500 pounds per square inch. Let's say that the pump pushes fluid through a tube with a cross-sectional area of one square inch so that the pump is producing a force of 500 pounds over one square inch. The fluid that it pumps might go into a cylinder with an area of say, 100 square inches where the fluid can push on a piston. Now each square inch of the piston undergoes a force of 500 pounds for a total force on the piston of 500 x 100 = 50,000 pounds. It is as if the force has been multiplied from the 500 that the pump produces to 50,000.
What is the barometric pressure in Rio?
Barometric pressure (also known as atmospheric pressure) is the force exerted by the atmosphere at a given point. It is known as the "weight of the air". A barometer measures barometric pressure. Measurement of barometric pressure can be expressed in millibars(mb) or in inches or millimeters of mercury (Hg). Normal pressure at sea level is 1013.3 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury. Fluctuations in barometric pressure are usually a sign of weather conditions. A rise in pressure usually means improving weather while falling pressure may reflect impending inclement weather. Barometric pressures will also vary with altitude and moisture.Barometric pressure in rio is 29.78 in hg and still rising
How many gallons are in A 2.75 inch diameter cylinder 37 inches tall?
This cylinder has a volume of 0.951 US gallon.
How much steam pressure would a five inches diameter by twelve inches long with six inches of water in it?
The steam pressure (assuming this is a closed container) will be entirely dependent on the temperature. Look up steam tables to get the pressure of saturated steam at various temperatures.
How to calculate tonnage in hydraulic press machine?
Hydraulics are typically measured in pounds per square inch, which is a measurement of pressure, or force exerted with respect to area. To calculate the force used, multiply the pressure measurement by the area measurement in inches. This will give you the force in pounds, then convert that to tons.
Why do submarines have thick glass in their windows?
Because of the high pressure that is exerted from the water on the window. According to the movie Titanic, at about 4 km ~ 2.5 miles, the pressure exerted by the water on the window almost equal 3.5 tons/in^2. Therefore, a window of thickness 9 inches are used.
What is the force in pounds exerted upwards on a piston with a diameter of 4 inches if a gauge indicates the internal pressure in the cylinder is 1000 psi?
Pressure = force / area,so: force = pressure x area You would first have to calculate the area.
How does hydraulic pressure create a mechanical advantage in a simple hydraulic jack?
to understand this answer we have to assume the following as givin fact. fluids do not compress, that out of the way, the hydraulic piston you push is a smaller diameter than the piston that does the work. for example lets say that you are using a 1 square inch piston as the one you are pressing, and you are using a 100 square inch piston as the one doing work. these numbers are greatly exaggerated but will work for the example if you put 10 pounds of pressure on the 1 inch cylinder, you will have 10 psi of pressure. when this is routed to the 100 square inch cylinder you will still have 10 psi of pressure, but now it is acting on 100 square inches (10 pounds per square inch times 100 square inches) this would calculate to 1000 pounds. it would be the same as a 1001 inch lever with the fulcrum being 1 inch in from one end, only you would exert force on the larger lever to gain a mechanical advantage. hydraulics used in this way are known as liquid levers
