Answer : 56.9 kPa

Solution : Given :-

ρ (H_{2} O) = 1000 kg/m^{3} ; ρ (oil) = 850 kg/m^{3}; ρ (Hg) = 13,600 kg/m^{3}

h_{1} = 0.2 m; h_{2} = 0.3 m; h_{3} = 0.46 m

Formula : P_{1} + ρ (H_{2} O) g h_{1} + ρ (oil)g h_{2} - ρ (Hg) g h_{3} = P_{atm}

On rearranging we get,

P_{1} = P_{atm} - ρ (H_{2} O) g h_{1} - ρ (oil)g h_{2} + ρ (Hg) g h_{3}

Now,

P_{1} - P_{atm} = g (ρ (Hg) h_{3} - ρ (H_{2} O) h_{1} - ρ (oil)h_{2})

We know that, P_{1} - P_{atm} = P_{1}_gage

On substitution we get,

= (9.81 m/s^2) X [13,600 kg/m^3) X (0.46m) - (1000kg/m^3) X (0.2 m)- (850kg/m^3) X (0.3m) X X\frac{1N} {1kg . m/s^{2}} X \frac {1kPa} {1000. N/m^{2}}

= 56.9 kPa.

Therefore, P_{1}_gage = 56.9 kPa.

There is something wrong with the given, the second should be 3, 850 kg/m3. So here is the answer for this question:
The formula is P1 + Pwatergh1 + Poilgh2 - Pmercurygh3 = Patm
In order to solve for P1 we need to rearrange the formula, so it will look like:P1 = P atm - Pwatergh1 - Poilgh2 + Pmercurygh3
Noting that P1gage would be equal to P1 - Patm and we can substitute the given above:P1,gage = (9.81 m/s^2)[13,600 kg/m^3)(0.46m) - (1000kg/m^3)(0.2 m)
= (850kg/m^3)(0.3m) (1N / 1kg * m/s^2) (1kPa/ 1000 N/m^2)
= 56.9 kPa

Two spherical conductors are separated by a distance much larger than either of their radii. Sphere A has a radius of 11.5 cm an
bonufazy [111]

Explanation:

As the given spheres are connected by a thin wire so, the potential on the spheres are the same.

          \frac{q_{1}}{r_{1}} = \frac{q_{2}}{r_{2}} ......... (1)

Hence, total charge will be as follows.

              q_{1} + q_{2} = Q = -95.5 nC .......... (2)

Using the above two equations, the final equation will be as follows.

          q_{2} = \frac{Qr_{2}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}

and,    q_{1} = \frac{Qr_{1}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}

Hence, we will calculate the charge on sphere B after the equilibrium is reached as follows.

          q_{2} = \frac{Qr_{2}}{r_{1} + r_{2}}

                     = \frac{-95.5 \times 74.4 cm}{(11.5 + 74.4) cm}

                     = 82.714 nC

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on sphere B after equilibrium has been reached is 82.714 nC.

Class II levers like ankles and wheelbarrows are useful because they provide mechanical advantage, by amplifying the input force
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:

TA = W * (a * cosθ)

The torque due to effort at C point is:

TC = E * (b * cosθ)

The net torque is equal to 0, we have:

Tnet = 0

W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0

E=W\frac{a}{b}

From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W

The correct answer is:
<span>C: in the protons and neutrons of an atom

In fact, the nuclear energy refers to the binding energy of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) of an atom. The protons and the neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear interaction, one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and the energy associated to this interaction is called nuclear energy.
