A new gel is being developed to use inside padding and helmets to cushion the body from impacts. The gel is stored in a 4.24.2 cubic meters [m cubed ]m3 cylindrical tank with a diameter of 2 meters [m]. The tank is pressurized to 1.41.4 atmosphere [atm] of surface pressure to prevent evaporation. A total pressure probe located at the bottom of the tank reads 6565 feet of water [ft Upper H 2 Upper OH2O]. What is specific gravity of the gel contained in the tank?

The specific gravity of the gel is 1470.68

Explanation:

Given:

Volume

Diameter of tank m

Pressure at surface atm

Height ft m

Pressure at bottom is given by,

Where ,

Here volume is 4.24

  m

From pascal equation,

Find density of gel from above equation,

So specific gravity is given by,

   ζ =

   ζ =

   ζ =

Therefore, the specific gravity of the gel is 1470.68

lithosphere and asthenosphere

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
