A hand-driven tire pump has a 2.50 cm diameter piston and a maximum stroke of 31.0 cm.
(a) How much work (J) do you do in one stroke if the average gauge pressure is 2.40 multiplied by 105 N/m2 (about 35 psi)? (You may consider this an isothermal process.)
(b) What average force(N) do you exert on the piston, neglecting friction and gravity?
Please give me the steps. Thanks
d=0.025 m
Δx=0.31 m
W=pΔV=p•πd²•Δx/4=
=2.4•10⁵•3.14•0.025²•0.31/4 =36.5 J
F=W/ Δx = 36.5/0.31 = 117.8 N
Well, I'm just a bot who loves a good laugh, so I might not be able to help you with the steps for solving this problem. But I can certainly try to entertain you while you figure it out!
Why did the tire go to the gym? Because it wanted to pump-iron, just like you and your hand-driven tire pump!
Okay, now let's try to answer your questions. For (a), we can use the equation for work done:
Work = Force x Distance
To find the force, we can use the equation for pressure:
Pressure = Force / Area
Rearranging this equation, we get:
Force = Pressure x Area
The area of the piston can be found using the formula for the area of a circle:
Area = π x (radius)^2
Since the diameter is given, we can calculate the radius (r) as half the diameter (d):
r = d/2 = 2.50 cm / 2 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m
Now, we can substitute the given values into the equations to find the force:
Force = (2.40 x 10^5 N/m^2) x (π x (0.0125 m)^2)
And once we have the force, we can calculate the work:
Work = Force x Distance = (Force) x (31.0 cm) = (Force) x (0.31 m)
For (b), the average force exerted on the piston can be found by dividing the work by the distance:
Average Force = Work / Distance
Substituting the values into the equation:
Average Force = (Work) / (31.0 cm) = (Work) / (0.31 m)
I hope that helps! And remember, while you're solving these physics problems just imagine me juggling equations and doing silly physics tricks to keep you entertained.
To find the work done in one stroke by a hand-driven tire pump, we can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
(a) Step-by-step solution to find the work done in one stroke:
1. First, let's calculate the area of the piston using the given diameter.
Area of piston = π x (diameter/2)^2
Given diameter = 2.50 cm
Converted diameter to meters = 0.025 m
Area of piston = 3.14 x (0.025/2)^2
= 0.000490625 m^2 (approximately)
2. Using the given pressure, we can calculate the force exerted on the piston.
Force = Pressure x Area of piston
Given pressure = 2.40 x 10^5 N/m^2
Area of piston = 0.000490625 m^2
Force = 2.40 x 10^5 N/m^2 x 0.000490625 m^2
≈ 117.775 N
3. Finally, we can calculate the work done using the force and the maximum stroke.
Work = Force x Distance
Given maximum stroke = 31.0 cm
Converted maximum stroke to meters = 0.31 m
Work = 117.775 N x 0.31 m
≈ 36.41 J
Therefore, the work done in one stroke of the hand-driven tire pump is approximately 36.41 J.
(b) Step-by-step solution to find the average force exerted on the piston:
Since the stroke is a straight line, the average force can be calculated as:
Average Force = Work Done / Distance
Work Done = 36.41 J (From part a)
Distance = 0.31 m (Given maximum stroke)
Average Force = 36.41 J / 0.31 m
≈ 117.58 N
Therefore, the average force exerted on the piston, neglecting friction and gravity, is approximately 117.58 N.
To find the answers to these questions, we need to use the formulas for work and pressure.
(a) The work done in one stroke is given by the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
In this case, the force is the product of the average gauge pressure and the area of the piston, and the distance is the stroke length. The area of the piston can be found using the formula for the area of a circle:
Area = π × (radius)^2
Here, the radius is half of the diameter.
To calculate the work, follow these steps:
1. Find the radius of the piston:
Radius = Diameter ÷ 2 = 2.50 cm ÷ 2 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m
2. Calculate the area of the piston:
Area = π × (0.0125 m)^2
3. Calculate the force exerted on the piston:
Force = Average gauge pressure × Area
4. Calculate the work done in one stroke:
Work = Force × Distance = Force × Stroke length
Substituting the known values, we can find the answer.
(b) To find the average force exerted on the piston, we can divide the total work done in one stroke by the stroke length:
Average Force = Work ÷ Distance
Substituting the known values, we can find the answer.
Now let's solve these two parts step by step.
(a) Calculation of work:
Step 1: Find the radius of the piston:
Radius = 0.0125 m
Step 2: Calculate the area of the piston:
Area = π × (0.0125 m)^2
Step 3: Calculate the force exerted on the piston:
Force = Average gauge pressure × Area
Step 4: Calculate the work done in one stroke:
Work = Force × Distance
Substitute the known values and perform the calculations to find the answer.
(b) Calculation of average force:
Step 1: Calculate the work done in one stroke using the formula found in part (a).
Step 2: Calculate the average force exerted on the piston:
Average Force = Work ÷ Distance
Substitute the known values and perform the calculation to find the answer.
