Describe how the basic measurements of length, volume, and mass were determined in the

the basic measurements of length, volume, and mass are 1 meter, 1 meter³  and 1kilogram.

One 10-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator would equal one meter.

A cube with sides of one meter has a volume of one meter³.

The mass of 1,000 cubic centimeters of water is very close to (and was originally intended to be exactly) one kilograms.

but today a more precise way to define is available in which:

1 meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/3×10⁸ sec.

The weight of a specific platinum-iridium prototype held by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is defined as 1 kg.

moreover these measurements are man made and are not absolute and therefore many new units of measurement can be defined as long as they are fundamentally same everywhere.

ddd [48]

Answer:

a) P = 370.993\,kPa, b) F = 25.948\,kN

Explanation:

a) The absolute pressure at a depth of 27.5 meters is:

P = P_{atm} + P_{man}

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (27.5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 370.993\,kPa

b) The force exerted by the water is:

F = (P - P_{atm})\cdot A

F = (370.993\,kPa-101.3\,kPa)\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

F = 25.948\,kN
