Answer:

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Explanation:

Change in length

        \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}

Load, P = m x 9.81 = 9.81m

Young's modulus, Y = 0.37 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Area

       A=\frac{\pi (8.3\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=5.41\times 10^{-5}m^2

Length, L = 15 m

ΔL = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

Substituting

       0.051=\frac{9.81m\times 15}{5.41\times 10^{-5}\times 0.37\times 10^{10}}\\\\m=69.38kg  

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

Scientific knowledge is generally considered to have a positive effect on society. In which situation would scientific knowledge
attashe74 [19]
Scientific knowledge itself cannot have a positive or negative impact on society per se. What can have a negative or positive impact is how this knowledge is being used. 

While we all enjoy a beter life due to advancements in medicine and technology for example, this was because people decided they would put certain scientific discoveries into practice and spread them among the people.

The same thing can also be said for negative scientific discoveries. While energy produced in atomic power plants per se isn't harmful, when making an atomic bomb out of it, it can be disastrous. It was the intention of doing something evil with it that might have had a negative impact on society, not the knowledge itself.
