<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

Describe how sound waves are produced by the drum and then heard.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The material stretched across the drum vibrates to produce the sound waves.

Explanation:

A drum is one of the oldest musical instrument made by man. It is made of a hollow body over which a material such as skin is stretched. When a drum is struck with a stick, the material vibrates up and down. This makes the air above the drum to contract and relax rhythmically resulting in soundwaves. The soundwaves travel through air to reach our ears where they are heard.

The quality of sound produced by  a drum is affected by its shape. A larger drum produces a lower pitched sound.

How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?
deff fn [24]
The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration.  Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2.  So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

How does surface area affect the amount of air resistance an object experiences?
Ymorist [56]
The greater the cross-sectional area of an object, the greater the amount of air resistance it encounters since it collides with more air molecules. ... It will have to accelerate for a longer period of time before there is enough upward air resistance to balance the downward force of gravity.
