<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

A mechanic jacks up the front of a car to an angle of 8.0° with the horizontal in order to change the front tires. the car is 3.
SOVA2 [1]
<span>First draw a free-body diagram. Torque T = Force F x Distance d where force is the component of gravitational force g and d is the lever arm distance to the pivot point. Since the pivot point is at the back tire we subtract that from the length of the car resulting in d = 1.12 - 0.40 = 0.72 meters = d. We are interested in the perpendicular component of the force exerted on the car jack so use sin 8 degrees then T=1130 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 x sin(8 degrees) x0.72 m = 1,110.80 Newton-meters</span>
