A) The answer is 3,596,866.62 N

Step 1. Calculate the water pressure at the bottom of the ocean where the Kursk sank because: Force (F) = Pressure (P) * Area (A). P = ?
Step 2. Calculate the area (A) of <span>a 6 foot square</span> metal sheet: A = ?
Step 3. Calculate the <span>force on a 6 foot square metal sheet held horizontally at the depth of the Kursk: F = ?

Step 1. The </span>water pressure at the bottom of the ocean is:
P = ρ * g * h
ρ - the density of the sea water: ρ = 1,027 kg/m³
g - the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8 m/s²
h - the height: h = 350 ft = 106.68 m
P = 1,027 * 9.8 * 106.68 = 1,073,691.53 kg/m*s²

Step 2. The area of a <span>6 foot square metal sheet is:
A = s</span>²
s - the side of the square: s = 6 ft = 1.83 m
A = (1.83 m)² = 3.35 m²

Step 3. T<span>he force on a 6 foot square metal sheet held horizontally at the depth of the Kursk is:
F = P * A
P = </span>1,073,691.53 kg/m*s²
A = 3.35 m²
F = 1,073,691.53 kg/m*s² * 3.35 m² = 3,596,866.62 N


b) The answer is 3,535,165.59 N.

Step 1. Calculate the water pressure at the bottom of the ocean where the Kursk sank because: Force (F) = Pressure (P) * Area (A). P = ?
Step 2. Calculate the area (A) of a 6 foot square metal sheet: A = ?
Step 3. Calculate the force on a 6 foot square metal sheet held horizontally at the depth of the Kursk: F = ?

Step 1. The water pressure at the bottom of the ocean is:
P = ρ * g * h
ρ - the density of the sea water: ρ = 1,027 kg/m³
g - the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8 m/s²
h - the height: h = 350 ft - 6 ft = 344 ft (Since it is vertically held, the height of the metal sheet must be subtracted from the total depth)
h = 344 ft = 104.85 m= 104.85 m
P = 1,027 * 9.8 * 104.85 = 1,055,273.31 kg/m*s²

Step 2. The area of a 6 foot square metal sheet is:
A = s²
s - the side of the square: s = 6 ft = 1.83 m
A = (1.83 m)² = 3.35 m²

Step 3. The force on a 6 foot square metal sheet held horizontally at the depth of the Kursk is:
F = P * A
P = 1,055,273.31 kg/m*s²
A = 3.35 m²
F = 1,055,273.31 kg/m*s² * 3.35 m² = 3,535,165.59 N

What is the exact distance from (–1, 4) to (6, –2)? (4 points) units units units units
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

\sqrt{85}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 2)

d = \sqrt{(6+1)^2+(-2-4)^2}

  = \sqrt{7^2+(-6)^2}

  = \sqrt{49+36}

  = \sqrt{85} ← exact distance

Express the statement "A rectangular field with an area of 120m' has it length 12mn longer than the width" as quadratic equation
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The quadratic equation is x^2 -12x -120 = 0

where x represents the length of the field

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to make an expression in terms of a quadratic equation;

Let the length of the field be x mm , then the width will be (x-12) mm

Mathematically , the area of the field will be L * B

Thus;

x * (x-12) = 120

That gives;

x^2 -12x = 120

x^2 -12x -120 = 0
