I'm a little bit unsure about this question.

State one advantage and one disadvantage of using a plane mirrior as a driving mirrior

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.

The amount of heat required to change liquid water to vapor at its boiling temperature is 2256 kj/kg. the amount of heat required to change liquid mercury to its vapor state at its boiling temperature is 295 kj/kg. one kg of each substance is currently at its boiling point. how will the amount of thermal energy required to change each substance from a liquid to a gas differ?
