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

The distance from the Earth to the Sun equals 1 AU. Neptune is 30 AU from the Sun. How far is Neptune from the Earth?AU
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Depending on the relative position of the Earth the Sun and Neptune in the Earths orbit the distances are;

The closest (minimum) distance of Neptune from the Earth is 29 AU

The farthest (maximum) distance of Neptune fro the Earth is 31 AU

Explanation:

The following parameters are given;

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1 AU

The distance of Neptune from the Earth = 30 AU

We have;

When the Sun is between the Earth and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 + 1 = 31 AU

When the Earth is between the Sun  and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 - 1 = 29 AU

Therefore, the closest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's Orbit is 29 AU

The farthest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's orbit is 31 AU.

If a range hood removes contaminants at a flow rate of F liters of air per​ second, then the percent P of contaminants that are
podryga [215]

Explanation:

The given value of P is as follows.

           P = 1.06F + 22.18,           10 \leq F \leq 70

or,       P' = 1.06

As p' is defined and non-zero. Hence, only critical points are boundary points.

For F = 10, the value of P will be calculated as follows.

         P = 1.06 \times 10 + 22.18

            = 32.78

For F = 70, the value of P will be calculated as follows.

        P = 1.06 \times 70 + 22.18

           = 96.38

Therefore, the minimum value of P is 32.78 and maximum value of P is 96.38.
