Distillation is a process in many laboratories for the purpose of
separating and/or purifying components of a liquid mixture. The distillation apparatus used consists of
three major parts: <span>distillation flask - to heat the mixture and volatilize the components,
a condenser to cool the vapors back to liquid state, and a collection vessel. The apparatus is typically made of glass and
therefore subject to breakage.</span> <span>All components of the distillation apparatus
should be protected to a stable stand or rack to avoid it from falling over.</span>
Answer: Is permanently deformed.
Explanation (see the diagram shown below).
For most structural materials:
(a) The deformation in the elastic zone is recoverable, and the material returns
to its original shape when the load (or stress) is removed.
(b) A permanent set (non-recoverable deformation) occurs when the material
is sressed beyond the elastic zone, that is, in the plastic zone.
Solve for "x"
X=force
18/6=x/9
cross multiply
162=6x
x=27
