The corresponding downward force on the top of a horizontal square is 375 lb.in

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. It is represented as

Pressure p = Force/Area

If the atmospheric pressure is 15 lb/in and  area 5 inches on each side is

A = 5² = 25  in²

The force applied is

15 lb/in = F /25 in²

F = 375 lb.in

Hence, the corresponding downward force on the top of a horizontal square is 375 lb.in

A photographer wants to determine the color of light he can use in the darkroom that will not expose the films he is processing.
Sonbull [250]

For a photographer that wishes to determine the color of light that he can use in a dark room that will not expose the films he is processing, having used a Blue Incandescent bulb, he should proceed to use a Red Incandescent bulb for the next trial.

The photographer in question is performing an experiment. For these kinds of experiments it is important to identify the variables present, which can be of three kinds:

  1. Control variables
  2. Dependent variables
  3. Independent variables

For this experiment, the dependent variable is the exposure of the light onto the films, given that this is what we wish to measure. The independent variable will be the color of the light being used which is what will affect the dependent variable.

The remaining variable must be the control variable. Unlike the previous variables, we can have more than one of these. The control variable is there to make sure that only the dependent variable is affecting the outcome. We do this by keeping the control variable the same through each trial, which is why the photographer should not change the type of bulb in the second experiment, changing only the color of the light.

Compare and contrast the health benefits and the amount of physical or mental energy needed between active leisure activities an
dolphi86 [110]
This is the answer "Some active leisure activities, such as yoga and running, require a great deal of physical energy, while other activities, like playing chess, require a substantial amount of mental energy. Passive leisure activities, such as watching TV or going to the movies, require little to no physical or mental energy. Because of the exertion of physical or mental energy, active leisure activities have more health benefits than passive leisure activities." hope it help you?:)

Answer:

Answer is C. Both technicians A and B.

Refer below.

Explanation:

Two technicians are discussing the testing of a catalytic converter. Technician A says that a vacuum gauge can be used and observed to see if the vacuum drops with the engine at 2500 RPM for 30 seconds. Technician B says that a pressure gauge can be used to check for backpressure. The following technician is correct:

Both technicians A and B
