To solve this problem, we know that:

1 psi = 6894.76 Pa

1 lb / ft^2 = 47.88 Pa

 

Therefore:

a. 1500 x 10^3 Pa * (1 lb / ft^2 / 47.88 Pa) = 31,328.32 lb / ft^2

 

b. 1500 x 10^3 Pa * (1 psi / 6894.76 Pa) = 217.56 psi

Answer:

a) 1500 kpa = 31,328.3208 lb/ft2

b) 1500 kpa = 217.5 psi

Explanation:

This question can be solved using proportionality, that is, simple rules of three.

We have that:

Pressure of water line: 1500 kpa

(a) lb/ft2 units?

Each lb/ft2 is 0.04788 kpa. So

1 lb/ft2 - 0.04788 kpa

x lb/ft2 - 1500 kpa

0.04788x = 1500

x = \frac{1500}{0.04788}

x = 31328.3208

So

1500 kpa = 31,328.3208 lb/ft2

(b) lbf/in2 (psi) units?

Each kpa is 0.145psi. So

1 kpa - 0.145 psi

1500 kpa - x psi

x = 1500*0.145

x = 217.5

So

1500 kpa = 217.5 psi

Cavendish used the attraction between large and small lead balls to measure an experimental value for the gravitational constant
irina1246 [14]

The gravitational constant was experimentally measured by W Cavendish using the attraction between big and small lead balls. is true

The correct answer is true

<h3>How do you define gravitational constant?</h3>

the strength of gravity. a factor in use in Newton's gravity law to relate the strength of the gravitational pull between two bodies with their masses and distance from one another. 6.67259 X 10-11 newtons per square kilogram is roughly the gravitational constant. G is its identifier.

<h3> where is the strongest gravity is?</h3>

The gravitational pull of the earth is greatest near sea level, normally, and weakens as you get further from the center, such as to the summit of Mt. Everest. Because the obloid earth was slightly wider, but only by a minor ratio, the gravity just at poles is stronger than that at the equator.

Where coastal rock is softer, waves erode the land faster ​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Headlands and bays are created where there are bands of hard and soft rock which meet the coastline at right angles. Softer rock is eroded more quickly and erodes backwards to form bays (which may have beaches). The harder rocks are more resistant to erosion and jut out into the sea to form exposed headlands

A sample of the mineral calcite has a volume of 15 cm³ and a mass of 40.5 g. What is the density of the calcite?A.0.37 g/cm³B.2.
maxonik [38]

Given data:

Volume of calcite (V) = 15 cm³,

mass of calcite (m) = 40.5 g,

find the

            density of calcite (ρ) = ?

density is defined as " it is the amount of matter of an object in a given volume". Simply it is the ratio of matter in an object to its volume. The unit of density is kg/m³ in SI system or g/cm³ in CGS system.

Mathematically,

                         density ( ρ) = mass/volume    

                                            = m/V     g/cm³

                                            = 40.5 g/15 cm³

                                            = 2.7 g/cm³

Hence, the density of calcite is <em>2.7 g/cm³ </em>
