What is the pressure inside an inverted hollow cylinder in water and how to calculate it?

The pressure inside an inverted hollow cylinder in water is equal to the pressure at the depth of the cylinder's centroid multiplied by the specific weight of water. To calculate it, use the formula: pressure = (specific weight of water) * (depth of centroid of cylinder).


What is a measuring cylinder used to for?

A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid and occasionally a solid (it can be inverted and used to measure gas as well!) The cylinder is made of glass (usually Pyrex) or plastic and has measured lines with volume values noted on the lines (a.k.a. graduations.) Simply fill the cylinder with a liquid until it reaches the volume you require. When measuring the liquid level you will notice that electrostatic forces and gravity alter the shape of the liquid's surface to a crescent shape. This is called a "meniscus." In most cases the shape will look like a smile, you must make the measurement so the bottom portion of the smile shape is lined up with the graduation mark on the cylinder. Occasionally the meniscus will be close to flat or inverted like a frown, such is the case with liquid mercury. In such scenarios, the uppermost portion of the frown shape should be used for accurate measurement. To measure the volume of a small solid object of irregular shape, you can measure out a certain volume of a liquid (like water) in the cylinder, and then carefully place the solid objects in the cylinder, making sure they are completely submerged and contain no air bubbles. The water is displaced to a new reading on the graduated cylinder and the difference between the original and the final readings is the volume that the solid object occupies. Measuring the volume of a gas is more complicated to set up and explain. In general the graduated cylinder is filled with liquid and inverted in a large container filled with water. The gas reaction evolves gas through a tube, directly under the inverted cylinder, and rises to the top (the base of the inverted cylinder). The amount of gas produced will displace the water downward as it fills the top of the cylinder and can be measured using the graduations when the gas has ceased. This will give you the volume that the gas occupies. If the gas is soluble in the liquid, some may remain dissolved and give a false-low volume reading.


How a water-filled graduated cylinder is inverted in a pan of water?

Gases that are relatively insoluble in water are collected by water displacement. The gas pushes the water down and out of the water-filled gas-collecting vessel. The gas-collecting vessel (generally a flask or test tube) is first filled with water, covered with a glass plate or plastic wrap (no air bubbles must enter the vessel, and then inverted into a deep pan or tray half-filled with water. The glass plate or plastic wrap is removed, and the tubing from the gas generator is inserted into the mouth of the gas-collecting vessel.


Is a screw considered an inclinded plane wrapped around a cylinder?

Actually it is an inclined plane wrapped around an inverted cone.


Collection tube containing an anti-coagulant inverted how many times?

Typically, a blood collection tube containing an anticoagulant should be inverted 5-8 times gently to ensure thorough mixing of the blood with the anticoagulant, which helps prevent clotting. Over-inverting may cause hemolysis and affect test results.


Inverted U-tube differential manometers?

Inverted U-tube manometer is used for measuring pressure differences in liquids. The space above the liquid in the manometer is filled with air which can be admitted or expelled through the tap on the top, in order to adjust the level of the liquid in the manometer.

Will a 97 mirage 1.5L cylinder head fit on a 95 mirage 1.5L?

It most definitely does not. The 97 is 180 degrees inverted from the 95. Completely different.
