Answer:

10.12square feet

Explanation:

Pressure exerted on the object is defined as the ratio of the force exerted on it to its unit area. Mathematically, Pressure = Force/Area

Given the force = 170kN

Pressure = 180KPa

Area = Force /Pressure

Area = 170kN/180KPa

Area = 0.94N/Pa

Note that 1Newton/Pascal = 10.764square feet

Therefore 0.94N/Pa = x

x = 0.94× 10.764

x = 10.12square feet

Therefore the area upon which this pressure is exerted is 10.12sqft.

An ac generator with peak voltage 100 volts is placed across a 10-? resistor. What is the average power dissipated?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is: Average Power  = 500 W

Explanation:
Root-mean square voltage = Vrms = Vpeak /√2 = 100 / √2 volts
Resistance = R = 10 Ω
Average power = Pavg = (Vrms)^2<span> / R </span>= (100 * 100) / (2 * 10) = <span>500 W</span>
