Physics
1 answer:
denis23 [38]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D. 3 psi

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as force acting per unit area and is numerically expressed as:

P= \frac {F}{A}

where P represent pressure, F is force and A is area where the force acts. Substituting 300 lb for force and 100 sq.in for area then pressure,

P=\frac {300 lb}{100 in^{2}}= 3 \ psi

Therefore, from the choices given, option D, 3psi is the right choice.

Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time
