Answer:

Explanation:
As we know that the small particle is in equilibrium at an angle of 16 degree with the vertical
so here we can use force balance in vertical and horizontal direction


now from above equation we have

also by division of above two equations we have


now from above equation again




ΔS= nΔHvap/T,
Where, ΔS = Change in entropy, n = moles of water = 39.3/18 = 2.188 moles, ΔHvap = 40.67kJ/mol = 40670 J/mol, T = Temperature (K) = 100+272.15 = 373.15 K
Therefore,
ΔS = (2.188*40670)/373.15 = 237.96 J/K
The colour of the star and the brightness.
The equivalent resistance of n resistors connected in parallel is given by

(1)
In our problem, the resulting resistance of the 5 pieces connected in parallel is

, and since the 5 pieces are identical, their resistance R is identical, so we can rewrite (1) as

From which we find

.
So, each piece of wire has a resistance of

. Before the wire was cut, the five pieces were connected as they were in series. The equivalent resistance of a series of n resistors is given by

So if we apply it at our case, we have

therefore, the resistance of the original wire was

.
