A mixed cost contains a variable element and a fixed element.
Option a
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mixed costs are those costs that has both variable and fixed component. Example: operating cost of a machinery includes fixed costs that cannot be changed with other variable costs like fuel, insurance, depreciation, etc.
It is also named as semi-variable costs. And the formula to calculate mixed cost is as follows,

where,
- y is the "total cost
"
- a is the "fixed cost per period"
- b is the "variable rate per unit of activity"
- x is the "number of units of activity"
There doesn't seem to be any direct connection.
Answer:
28,400 N
Explanation:
Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

which acts from above.
The area of the hatch is given by:

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:

Answer:
12N
Explanation:
Suppose the string mass is negligible, the total mass of the 2 block system is 6 + 9 = 15 kg
So the acceleration of the system when subjected to 30N force is
a = F / M = 30 / 15 = 2 m/s2
So both blocks would have the same acceleration, however, the force acting on the 6kg block would have a magnitude of
f = am = 2 * 6 = 12N
This is the tension in the string between the blocks
Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
- mass of the object on a horizontal surface,

- coefficient of static friction,

- coefficient of kinetic friction,

- horizontal force on the object,

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

where:
normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body


As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:
So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.
so, the frictional force will be:
