Homework Statement I need to find the amount of H2 being lost to water by being stored underneath a column of water. About 16 mL of H2 is made and it displaces the column by 16 cm. However the total amount of water is 30 ml/30 cm. I'm not sure which relationship to use to find the pressure of...

Hi, I'm a Civil Engineering student doing my final project for my BE degree. I have developed a software that uses a genetic algorithm for optimizing reinforced concrete columns. I have tested my program with a 17 stories building, and got some very unusual results in the design but much...

A conceptual problem related to a design I'm working on: If I use a pump to suck air out of the top of a vertical pipe, with the bottom of the pipe in water, I can only make the water rise around 10 metres inside the pipe, if I produce a perfect vacuum. Now let's say the pipe was 100m long and...
