For this case, the first thing you should know is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume.
 d = m / v
 We have then for this case that the density is:
 d = 103 Kg / m ^ 3
 The volume is given by:
 V = A * d
 Where
 A: area of the city
 d: height of the rain
 Also, for calculation purposes, you must know the following measure:
 1Km = 1000m
 1 inch = 0.0254 meters
 Calculating the volume we have:
 V = (22 * (1000/1) ^ 2) * (2 * (0.0254 / 1)) = 1117600 m ^ 3
 Then, calculating the mass we have:
 m = d * v
 m = (103) * (1117600) = 115112800 Kg
 Equivalently
 m = 1.15 * 10 ^ 8 Kg
 answer
 mass of water fell on the town was 1.15 * 10 ^ 8 Kg

We want to convert everything to meters so we can calculate cubic meter volume and use the given mass information.  
2 inches = 5.08 centimeters = .0508 meters.  
22 square kilometers = 22,000,000 sq meters.  
The product of these gives the number of cubic meters of water that rained. .0508 * 22,000,000 = 1,117,600 cubic meters.  
Multiply by the mass to arrive at final answer. 1,117,600 m^3 * 103kg/m^3 = 115,112,800 kg  
115,112,800 kg of water fell.

Why does a third class lever cannot magnify force?​
maw [93]

Explanation:

The third class lever cannot magnify our force because in third class lever the effort it between the load and the fulcrum. Also, in this type of lever no matter where the force is applied, it is always greater than the force of load. Hence, That type of lever cannot magnify our force.

In his​ motorboat, Bill Ruhberg travels upstream at top speed to his favorite fishing​ spot, a distance of 120120 ​mi, in 33 hr.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph

Explanation:

x​ = the rate of the boat in still water

y​ = the rate of the current.

Distance travelled = 120 mi

Time taken upstream = 3 hr

Time taken downstream = 2.5 hr

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed upstream

\frac{120}{3}=x-y\\\Rightarrow 40=x-y

Speed downstream

\frac{120}{2.5}=x+y\\\Rightarrow 48=x+y

Adding both the equations

48+40=x-y+x+y\\\Rightarrow 88=2x\\\Rightarrow 44=x

40=44-y\\\Rightarrow 40-44=-y\\\Rightarrow y=4

The rate of the boat in still water is <u>44 mph</u> and the rate of the current is <u>4 mph</u>
