Answer: Isostatic rebound

The weight of an ice sheet imposed on lithosphere in the continental block will cause the continent to sink in the asthenosphere due to isostatic rebound. The thickness of the ice sheet change with time as the sea level rise and the sinking of the lithosphere will continue until isostatic equilibrium is reached.

The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.
