With a = 7V, b = 5V and c = 0V we obtain p = V and V AB = R = 5V 8 AIR IN A SUBMARINE i) We are uppoed to calculate the volume rate in m3 ) at which the water flow in We know A = 0cm We apply Bernoulli equation, where the initial point i in the ea and the final point i in the hole: from which we get: v f = i + v i = f + }{{} v f 5) =0 gh = 767m/ 6) Here v f i the peed at which the water flow in Thi we can inert into the equation for the volume rate: Q = Av f = 053 m3 50 litre 7) ii) Atmopheric air conit mainly of diatomic nitrogen and oxygen ga At the temperature involved thee molecule have f = 5 degree of freedom: 3 tranlational and rotational The adiabatic contant γ i γ = f + )/f = 7/5 One can alo obtain thi reult from γ = c V + R)/c V For adiabatic compreion we have p i V γ i = p f V γ f 8) The final preure i the preure from the ea, which i approximately p 0 + gh = 0 5 +000 98 300)a 3Ma Thi give ) 5 pi 7 V f = V i 09m 3 p f 9) Note: The final temperature i only about 6 time the initial temperature, uch that the vibrational degree of freedom of the molecule doe not have to be conidered iii) The work W done on the ytem coniting of the whole ubmarine) by the urrounding water i W = c V, where c i the contant preure of the urrounding water There i no heat exchange, o thi work mut be equal to the change in internal energy of the ytem: W = U ga + U water = c V n T + K turb 0) where K turb i the quantity that we are after and get: K turb = c V c V n T ) We need the value of n NB you can alo figure it out from the ideal ga law): n = m M ) where m = 3 kg 0m 3 = 3kg and M = m 3 00897 kg mol lugging in the value we get n 44mol The final temperature can be calculated from the initial temperature by uing that p γ T γ i conerved By plugging in all the other value we get: K turb 0 7 J 3) Alternative olution: Alternatively, one can look at the ga and the water inide the ubmarine) a eparate ubytem The work done on the ga i equal to the change in internal energy of the ga: g dv = c V n T 4) The work done on the water inide the ubmarine by the water outide the ubmarine i c V The water inide the ubmarine alo doe work on the ga given by g dv The change in internal energy of the water in the ubmarine i then K turb = c V g dv = c V c V n T 5) where the lat equality follow from eqn??) From here one proceed a already written above 9 BLACK BOX By meauring current with with poitive lead of multimeter connected to blue and negative lead connected to black we get I 0 95mA From thi meaurement alone, ince we made a circuit that continuouly conducted current, we can deduce that the circuit inide the black box ha to be one of following: A white black blue B white black blue Note that the order of the inductor and diode in erie doe not change anything The actual meaured current value varie a bit from one black box to another and alo change very lightly due battery voltage dropping and inductor heating up lightly i) Meauring voltage between blue and black we determine the electromotive force of the battery U = 95V ii) We get the internal reitance of the inductor from R l = U/I 0 00ohm We can alo get ome hint to the magnitude of the inductance a we aw no exponential ramp up of current when meauring, meaning L/R t iii) Determining which of the two poible circuit i inide the black box i trickier One way to do it, i to notice that when we diconnect blue and black we can get a mall park, or feel a mall pule of current if we happen to touch the wire at that point That i becaue L I t = U l the current through the inductor can t change intantaneouly and the voltage will generated by the inductor enough for park or high voltage pule Meanwhile if we have capacitor in parallel with inductor while diconnecting the circuit we wont get the effect By teting with white lead parallel with black or with blue we can determine that no park happen in latter cae and the circuit in the black box i circuit B from the figure iv) By connecting voltmeter between white and black or white and blue we can ee the voltage decaying exponentially That mean indeed, that the capacitor i connected to the white wire and depending if the other lead i connected to black or blue we are charging the capacitor to negative battery voltage through voltmeter or dicharging it through voltmeter and inductor and diode We have to be careful not to touch both wire at the ame time, ince the reitance of good kin conductance i much maller then the reitance of the voltmeter We can meaure the capacitance by meauring the exponent: for example by taking two voltage reading and meauring the time interval between the reading C = ln U U τr m v) uf Firt we connect all three wire together That mean we have current running through inductor and the capacitor i charged to negative of battery voltage We connect voltmeter between white and black, o that we meaure the total of the capacitor and battery voltage The reading i zero at the tart ince all black box lead are connected Now we diconnect the
inductor battery current loop by diconnecting black from other box lead and the multimeter reading will jump to U c +U ap prox3v and tart to decay exponentially a before We can do thi many time to get a maximum reading After diconnecting the black, the current goe through LCR circuit formed by inductor and capacitor, but intead of ocillating it top due to the diode when current through inductor ha reached zero We can get the upper and lower bound for the inductance value by conidering two different cae Upper bound we can get when we neglect the reitive loe In that cae all the energy at the end i in the capacitor When we write down the energy balance we get: U C + I L = U c C L 30mH Lower bound we can get when we aume that mot of the energy went to reitive loe, in that cae the inductor current decay exponentially and we can write expreion for the down the total charge: U c +U) C = I R l L L 336mH The correct value for the inductor L 00mH i between thoe bound and cloer to the upper bound a we may gue ince U c > U It i poible to get more accurate value by looking at it without the aumption - a a damped harmonic ocillation
