Answer:
a
Solid Wire
Stranded Wire 
b
Solid Wire
Stranded Wire
Explanation:
Considering the first question
From the question we are told that
The radius of the first wire is 
The radius of each strand is 
The current density in both wires is 
Considering the first wire
The cross-sectional area of the first wire is

= >
= >
Generally the current in the first wire is

=> 
=>
Considering the second wire wire
The cross-sectional area of the second wire is

=> 
=> 
Generally the current is

=> 
=> 
Considering question two
From the question we are told that
Resistivity is 
The length of each wire is 
Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Answer:
-20,000N
Explanation:
Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)
So,
Force = 2000 x -10
= -20,000N (Newtons)
Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km
Explanation:
We can consider the next diagram
B2------15km/h------->Dock
|
|
B1 at 20km/h
|
|
V
So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.
Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.
Not sure but i will say D
