1. 60°C water is pumped from a tank. What is the maximum height that the pump can be installed? The friction loss in the suction line is 2.2 J/kg. The vapour pressure of 60°C water is 19.93 kN/m2. The NPSHR of the pump is 4.0 m.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

The membrane surrounding a living cell consists of an inner and an outer wall that are separated by a small space. assume that the membrane acts like a parallel plate capacitor in which the effective charge density on the inner and outer walls has a magnitude of 7.0 × 10-6 c/m2. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field within the cell membrane? (b) find the magnitude of the electric force that would be exerted on a potassium ion (k+; charge = +e) placed inside the membrane.

Atotal charge of –6.50 µc is uniformly distributed within a sphere that has a radius of 0.150 m. what is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at 0.300 m from the surface of the sphere? a) 2.89 × 105 n/c, radially inward b) 6.49 × 105 n/c, radially outward c) 4.69 × 105 n/c, radially inward d) 9.38 × 105 n/c, radially outward e) 1.30 × 106 n/c, radially inward
