An Asian elephant has a weight of 52,900 newtons. This enormous weight is balanced on four feet. In a circus act, these elephant

s often balance on one foot. The average surface area of a foot pad is 2,920 cm2. What pressure is experienced at the food pad if an elephant balances all its weight on one foot? 0.0551 N/cm2 18.1 N/cm2 52,900 N 1.84 N

Answer:

Option B, 18.11 \frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Explanation:

Given-

The average surface area of one foot pad of an elephant is 2920 cm^{2}\\

Weight of an Asian elephant is 52900 newton

As we know, pressure is equal to total weight divided by total area of the surface on which it is concentrated.

Thus, pressure on one foot  pad of elephant is \frac{52900}{2920} \frac{N}{cm^{2}} \\

= 18.11\frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Hence, option B is correct answer

Why do cells need to replicate their DNA?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. ... Once the DNA in a cell is replicated, the cell can divide into two cells, each of which has an identical copy of the original DNA.

Explanation:

Cells must replicate their DNA before they can divide. This ensures that each daughter cell gets a copy of the genome, and therefore, successful inheritance of genetic traits. DNA replication is an essential process and the basic mechanism is conserved in all organisms.
