<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.
