Answer:
500000N/m²
5250N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Depth(H) = 50m
Density of water = 1000kg/m³
Acceleration of free fall = 10m/s
Unknown:
Pressure the water exerts on the diver = ?
Solution:
Pressure is the force per unit area on a body. In fluids, pressure is the product of density, gravity and height
Pressure in fluids = Density x acceleration due to gravity x height
Input the variables and solve;
Pressure in fluids = 1000 x 10 x 50 = 500000N/m²
B.
width of window = 150mm
height of window = 70mm
Force water exerts on the window = ?
To solve this problem;
Pressure =
Area of the window = width x height = 150 x 10⁻³ x 70 x 10⁻³
= 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²
Force = pressure x area
Input the variables;
= 500000N/m² x 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²
= 5250N

Answer:
c. 3/2 mg
Explanation:
Given that the acceleration of an elevator is 1/2 g upward.
The reading on the scale of the elevator is the net external force acting on the elevator.
Let the force F acting on the elevator as shown,
By using Newton's 2nd law,
where, is the net force acting on the elevator.
m is the mass of the elevator,
a is the acceleration of the elevator, as given a=1/2 g upward.
So,
So, the reading on the scale in the elevator is .
Hence, option (c) is correct.
