Explanation:

Electrostatic induction, also known as "electrostatic influence" or simply "influence" in Europe and Latin America, is a redistribution of electric charge in an object, caused by the influence of nearby charges.[1] In the presence of a charged body, an insulated conductor develops a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other end.[1] Induction was discovered by British scientist John Canton in 1753 and Swedish professor Johan Carl Wilcke in 1762.[2] Electrostatic generators, such as the Wimshurst machine, the Van de Graaff generator and the electrophorus, use this principle. Due to induction, the electrostatic potential (voltage) is constant at any point throughout a conductor.[3] Electrostatic Induction is also responsible for the attraction of light nonconductive objects, such as balloons, paper or styrofoam scraps, to static electric charges. Electrostatic induction laws apply in dynamic situations as far as the quasistatic approximation is valid. Electrostatic induction should not be confused with Electromagnetic induction

Answer:

b. He would become farsighted.

Explanation:

A cataract is defined as a medical condition where a person eyes becomes partially opaque and the person is not bale to see properly.

This is mainly caused due to aging or any injury in the eyes tissue which make up the lens of the eye.

It is the clouding of the lens of the eyes or opacity of the eyes. When treating cataract, in some cases the lens of the eyes are needed to be removed. This may lead to person becoming far sighted.

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

The unit for IMA is _____. newtons joules meters IMA is unitless

Sonja [21]

The correct answer to the question is unitless i.e the IMA of a mechanical system has no unit.

EXPLANATION:

The IMA of a mechanical system stands for ideal mechanical advantage. It can be defined as the number of times the input or effort force provided to the mechanical system is multiplied under ideal conditions. The ideal conditions means that the system is free from friction, air resistance etc.

Let us consider $d_{i}$ is the distance over which the input force is applied.
