Amercury manometer (rho = 13,600 kg/m3) is connected to an air duct to measure the pressure inside. the difference in the manometer levels is 30 mm, and the atmospheric pressure is 100 kpa. (a) judging from fig. p1–65, determine if the pres- sure in the duct is above or below the atmospheric pressure. (b) determine the absolute pressure in the duct

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.
