Answer: 9.6kg

Explanation:

According to research, a person with compromised strength in his finger can apply a normal force of 6N to either side of a pinch held object like a notebook.

Since the person is holding onto to the book vertically, the force applied on both sides of the book slightly is 6 + 6 = 12N.

If the coefficient of friction of the surface between the finger and the book cover is given as 0.80.

From the relationship,

F = uR, u is the frictional force, R is the slight resultant force exerted on both side of the book.

Therefore,

F = 0.8 × 12 = 9.6N

The max mass of book this person can hold onto vertically before it slip off his finger will be derived from the formula

F = Mg

If we take acceleration due to gravity as 10m/s², and make M the subject of formula, we have

M = F/g = 9.6/10 = 0.96kg.

Answer: The mass of the heaviest book the person can hold is 0.0157 kilogram

Explanation:

From Force F = Coefficient of friction * length

Note, average length of human fingers is 7.6inches = 0.19304 meters

F= 0.8 *0.19304

F= 0.1544 N

But F = mass m * acceleration g

Mass m = F/g

m = 0.1544/9.81

m = 0.0157 kg

Why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator
svp [43]
<h2>Question</h2>

why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator

<h2>✒ Answer</h2>

the cold air produced from it is denser than the warmer air in the bottom

<h3>Explaination</h3>

Freezer is normally provided at the top of the refrigerator, because density of the cold air is high compared to the hot air. In a refrigerator the air contacts with the cooling coil and gets cooling.Because of the high density the cold air gets down and the warm air/hot air moves upward and gets cooling from the cooling coil/evaporator coil. This process is repeated. If the Freezer is provided at the bottom place of the refrigerator, the cold air can't to move full area of the refrigerator. So the freezer is normally provided at the top at the refrigerator

You put a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leave it until its temperature has dropped 12.0K .
Bingel [31]

Answer: a) - 437.8° F, b) - 261°c.

Explanation: a) the kelvin and Fahrenheit temperature scale are related by the formulae below.

5 (°F - 32) = 9 (k - 273)

Where °F = temperature in Fahrenheit and k = temperature in kelvin.

For question A, k = 12.0, by substituting to have the value for °F, we have

5(°F - 32) = 9 ( 12 - 273)

5(°F - 32) = 9(-261)

5(°F - 32) = - 2349

°F - 32 = - 2349/5

°F - 32 = - 469.8

°F = - 469.8 + 32

°F = - 437.8

Question B

The centigrade and kelvin scale are related by the formulae below

°c = k - 273

Where °c = temperature in centigrade and k = temperature in kelvin =12

°c = 12 - 273

°c = - 261
