9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo
1 answer:
Answer:
D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.
Explanation:
Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.
Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is and the density of the water is
.
Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.

Answer:
The minimum compression is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the block is
The spring constant is
The coefficient of static friction is
For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis
Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as
And the force acting on the horizontal axis is force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as
where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping
Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject
substituting values we have
