Question

a) At what depth in water is the pressure 37.6 times the pressure at the surface, which is at 1 ATM ?

b) Two stars radiate as black bodies(e = 1). Star A has a radius three times as large as star B but a temperature 1/3 that of star B. If star B radiates a power of PB, what is the power PA radiated by star A?

c) Suppose the heat flow rate through a wall is H. If we double all the wall dimensions (height, width, thickness) but keep the temperature difference the same, what would the new heat flow rate be?

d) A hurricane wind blows horizontally across a 10m X 12m flat roof on a house. Find the wind speed that will produce an upward force of 2x10^5 Nt on the roof.

( 1ATM = 105 Pa, k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/degK)

Explanation / Answer

a)pressure at the surface   P _o = 1 ATM    presssure at depth P =   37.6 ATM            P = P_o + ? g h            ? g h = P - P _ o                  h = P - P _ o / ?g                      = ( 37.6 - 1 )*1.03*10^ 5 N / m^2 / (1000)(9.8)                      = 384.6 m b) power out put by star B is   P_B                       r_A = 3 r_B                                        intensity of star A is                         I = P_A / A = s T^4                               P_A = A_A s T^ 4                                   = ( 4p (3r_B)^2 ) (s )(T_B / 3 ) ^ 4                                   =   9 A_B  s( T_B)^4                                    = 0.11 P_B c)Heat flow rate Q = k A ?T / d              here A = area    If we double all the wall dimensions (height, width, thickness) but keep the temperature difference the same                 Q' = k ( 4A ) ?T / 2 d                    =   2 Q d)
