Question 6

a. If the contact angle of a liquid with its container walls is 90° what can we say about the different forces involved and what are those forces? Include a discussion of the meniscus in this case. [3 marks]

b. Explain why the pressure inside a bubble is larger than the pressure surrounding the bubble. [2 marks]
c. At the top of a ski lift a 1 tonne concrete block counterweight is supported by a 10 m long steel cable (of 16 mm diameter when not under stress). You must include the mass of the cable when answering the following questions. The density of steel is 8000 kg m-3, the tensile strength of steel is 5.0 x 108 Pa, the Elastic Modulus of steel is 2.1 x 1011 Pa and Poisson’s ratio for steel is 0.28.

A container has a flat bottom made of aluminum that is 1.18 -cm thick. The walls are insulated with thick styrofoam. The exterior bottom of the container is in continual contact with boiling water. Inside the container, ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is boiling. How long until the alcohol completely boils away if initially it has a depth of 5 cm? Assume that the thermal conductivity of aluminum is 220 W/m· ◦C, the latent heat of vaporization of ethanol is 854 kJ/kg,...

A container of car antifreeze is supposed to hold 3785 mL of the liquid. Realizing that there is variation in the filling of the containers, the quality-control manager of the Taconic Chemical Company wants to be quite sure that the standard deviation of the filling process is less than 30 ml. Otherwise some containers would overflow and others would not have enough coolant. A random sample of 40 containers is selected and the mean is 3789 ml and the standard...
