<span>Pressure = force / area</span>

I assume that 350kg is the mass 
Therefore, 

350 x 9.8 (gravity) = 3430N

3430 / 1 = 3430Pa

3.43 KPa

Answer:

3.43 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the ratio between the force applied and the area of the surface on which the force is applied:

p=\frac{F}{A}

in this problem, the force corresponds to the weight of the load, which is given by the product between its mass (350 kg) and the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2):

F=mg=(350 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=3430 N

And since the area on which this force is applied is A=1 m^2, the pressure exerted on the upper surface of the liquid is

p=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{3430 N}{1 m^2}=3430 Pa = 3.43 kPa

Answer:

A)   F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N, B)   F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N, C)    \frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.3 10³⁹

Explanation:

A) It is asked to find the force of attraction due to the masses of the particles

Let's use the law of universal attraction

            F = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 1.67 \ 10 ^{-27} }{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2 }

            F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N

B) in this part it is asked to calculate the electric force

Let's use Coulomb's law

            F = k \  \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 9 \ 10^9 \  \frac{(1.6 \ 10^{-19} )^2}{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2}

             F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N

C) It is asked to find the relationship between these forces

        \frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{9.2 \ 10^{-8} }{4.05 \ 10^{-47} }

        = 2.3 10³⁹

therefore the electric force is much greater than the gravitational force

Explain how buoyancy can defeat the force of gravity​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Buoyancy causes things to float in water or liquid which appears to defeat the force of gravity. Hope this helps.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Both technicians are correct

Explanation:

In automobiles, governors are being used. Governors are also known for speed limiters as they can regulate and measure the speed of the automobile.

Hydraulic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by mechanical sensors according to vehicle speed and throttle position/manifold vacuum through valving operated by hydraulic 'pilot' signals.

Electronic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by an on-board computer that receives signals from electronic sensors.
