Answer:

$2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

where

$\Delta L$ is the change in length of the object

$L_0$ is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have $L_0 = 4 m$ and $\Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m$ , therefore the strain is

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

Explanation:

Pressure:This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²

p = Dgh............... Equation 1

Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.

p₁ = p₂

Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

h₂ = 348.14 cm

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.

What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface? The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg

scZoUnD [109]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

$F_c = F_g$
