Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0

From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W
Answer:
3.15m³
Explanation:
To solve this problem, let us first find the mass of the petrol from the given dimension.
Mass = density x volume
Volume of petrol = 4.2m³
Density of petrol = 0.3kgm⁻³
Mass of petrol = 4.2 x 0.3 = 1.26kg
So;
We can now find the volume of the alcohol
Volume of alcohol =
Mass of alcohol = 1.26kg
Density of alcohol = 0.4kgm⁻³
Volume of alcohol =
= 3.15m³
The answer is solid because gas is a chemical and water is a compound
