Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at  upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Density of liquid = 4730 kg/m³

Atmospheric pressure on planet X = 8401.7 N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of liquid, g =9.8 m/s² and h = height of column at earth's surface = 2185 mm. Since P = atmospheric pressure, for mercury, P = ρ₁gh₁ where ρ₁ = 13.6 g/cm³ and h₁ = 760 mm

So, ρgh = ρ₁gh₁

ρ = ρ₁h₁/h = 13.6 g/cm³ × 760/2185 = 4.73 g/cm³ = 4730 kg/m³

The atmospheric pressure on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃     g₁ = g/4 and h₃ = 725 mm = 0.725 m

on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃ = (4730 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.725 m)/4 = 8401.7 N/m²
