The correct answer of this question is : 10.2 Kg.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the ball is attached to the cable.

The tension produced in the cable when the ball is hanged from it, is equal to the weight of the ball. It is so because the cable maintains its equilibrium.

Hence, tension in the cable = weight of the ball.

The tension produced in the cable is given as T = 100 N.

The weight of the ball is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Let the mass of the ball is m.

Hence, weight of the ball W = mg

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and its value is g = $9.8\ m/s^2$ .

From above, we know that W = T

⇒ mg = 100 N

⇒ m = $\frac{100}{g}$ Kg

= $\frac{100}{9.8}\ Kg$

= 10.2 Kg. [ans]

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Substance Y

Explanation:

A substance with a high specific heat capacity can absorb a large quantity of heat before it will raise in temperature. A substance with a low specific heat requires relatively little heat to raise its temperature. Thus, if the same amount of energy was added to both substances, substance Y will reach the higher temperature, while substance X would require more energy to reach high temperatures.

Answer:

22145.27733 ft

124984.76055 ft

Explanation:

The equation of pressure is

$P=P_0e^{-kh}$

where,

$P_0$ =Atmospheric pressure = 800 mbar

k = Constant

h = Altitude = 35000 ft

$P=\dfrac{1}{3}P_0$

$\dfrac{1}{3}P_0=P_0e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}=e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow 3=e^{k35000}\\\Rightarrow ln3=k35000\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{ln3}{35000}\\\Rightarrow k=3.13\times 10^{-5}$

Now

$P=\dfrac{1}{2}P_0$

$ln2=kh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{k}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=22145.27733\ ft$

The altitude will be 22145.27733 ft

$P=0.02P_0$

$0.02P_0=P_0e^{-kh}\\\Rightarrow 0.02=e^{-3.13\times 10^{-5}h}\\\Rightarrow ln0.02=-3.13\times 10^{-5}h\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln0.02}{-3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=124984.76055\ ft$
