Rubbing water (isopropyl alcohol) has lesser surface tension than that water.

Water possesses a surface tension of 72 dynes/cm.

Whereas rubbing alcohol has a surface tension of 23 dynes/cm.

<h3>what is surface tension?</h3>

Surface tension is the propensity of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink to the smallest possible surface area.

Because the atoms on the outside of the molecules (often hydrogens) lack strong hydrogen bonding capabilities, most organic liquids have very low surface tensions. Because isopropanol contains just 28%, OH and the remainder is CH or CH3, the linkages that hold a droplet together are few and far between.

The only substance with a higher surface tension than water is liquid mercury (450 dyne/cm).

When hiking at altitude, the air pressure drops to 825,000Pa. Solve the force that site exerts against the side of a rectangular

OLga [1]

Answer:

The force is $1237500N$

Explanation:

We can apply the following expression

$pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

To find the area of rectangular tent wall:

$Area=length *width\\Area=2.00m*0.750m\\Area=1.5m^{2}$

Now to find the force:

$pressure=825,000pa$

$pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

$Force=pressure*Area\\Force=825000pa*1.5m^{2} \\Force=1237500N$

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located

zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁ is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

$\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241 \times 10^{-19 } \ C$
