d = diameter of the seat = 12 inch

we know that , 1 inch = 0.0254 m

hence

d = diameter of the seat = 12 inch = 12 (0.0254) m = 0.305 m

r = radius of seat = diameter/2 = d/2 = 0.305/2 = 0.1525 m

A = area of seat = πr²

m = mass of the person = 65 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F = force due to weight of person on the seat = mg

pressure on the seat is given as

P = F/A

P = mg/A

P = mg/(πr² )

inserting the values

P = (65 x 9.8)/((3.14) (0.1525)²)

P = 8723.1 N/m²

Calculate the molarity of the sodium acetate solution as described below.
Airida [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of given mass and volume, however, the steps below will help solve the completed question. The molarity (M) of a solution is the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. The formula is illustrated below;

Molarity = number of moles (n) / volume (in liter or dm³)

To calculate the number of moles of NaC₂H₃O₂, we say

number of moles (n) =

given or measured mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ ÷ molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂

The volume of the solvent must be in liter (same as dm³). Thus, to convert mL to liter, we divide by 1000

The unit for Molarity is M (Molar concentration), mol/L or mol/dm³
