Explanation: the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of the gas because pressure is a physical force its has not chemical composition.

So, pressure depends upon the numbers of molecules of the gas because gas molecules collide with the wall of the vessel. They exert force on the wall and we know the pressure is force applied per unit area .

According to Gay - Lussac's law, the temperature of the gas is direct proportional to the pressure at a constant volume.

The pressure exerted by a gas depends on the number of gas particles present, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. Other factors like volume of the particles or the intermolecular forces between molecules are assumed zero. So 50 particles of Helium gas exerts the same pressure of 50 particles of Oxygen gas.

Friction
Friction also affects the movement of an object on a slope. Friction is a force that offers resistance to movement when one object is in contact with another. Imagine now that you were on the downside of the object and applying force to keep the object in the same place (not moving)

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 20 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.2 A, the other a current of 5.9 A. (a) If the

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: $1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire $I_1=2.2\ A$

Current in the second wire $I_2=5.9\ A$

wires are $20\ cm$ apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}$

Force exerted by the wires is the same

Put the values

$\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

<h3>What is Archimedes' principle?</h3>

According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the fluid that the body displaces is equal to the upward buoyant force that is applied to a body submerged in a fluid, whether fully or partially. The Archimedes' principle is a fundamental physical law in fluid mechanics. It was created by Syracuse's Archimedes.

According to Archimedes' principle, a body submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force proportional to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced. One of the prerequisites for equilibrium is this. We believe that the buoyancy force, also known as the centre of buoyancy, is situated in the middle of the submerged hull.

From Archimedes' principle, we get

$\rightarrow L^3 \rho_{\text {Wood }} &=L^2 d \rho_{\text {Water }} \\$
