Answer:

Explanation:

submerged volume of pump = 40 x 12⁻³ ft³

density of oil = .9 x 62.4 lb ft⁻³ ( specific gravity x density of water )

mass of displaced oil = 40 x 12⁻³ x  .9 x 62.4 lb

= 1.3 lb

buoyant force = 1.3 lb

weight of pump = 14.6 lb

extra force needed for balancing pump by spring

= 14.6 - 1.3

= 13.3 lb .

How does gravity affect space travel?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Think of it like this, in space there is no gravity. This makes it very hard to move. This is why spacesuits have mini propellers. And the reason why rockets well... have rockets.

Which of the two resistors dissipates the larger amount of power?
Aloiza [94]

The circuit shown has a battery and two resistors, with R1>R2. Which of the two resistors dissipates the larger amount of power? Explain

Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the three currents I1 TO I3. And explain why?

The two batteries are identical and the four resistors all ahve exactly the same resistance.

a) Compare change in V(ab), V(cd), and V(ef). Are they all the same? In not, rank them in decreasing order. Explain you reasoning

b) Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the five currents I1 to I5, and ezplain why
