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.

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>
Explanation:
This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.
Let be the pressure at a point.
Let be the density fluid at a point.
Let be the velocity of fluid at a point.
Bernoulli's equation states that for all points.
Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.
Let be the pressure of a point just above the wing.
Let be the pressure of a point just below the wing.
Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.
So,
Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.
Given that area is .
So,lifting force is
Answer
given,
wavelength (λ)= 500 n m
thickness of film= 10⁻⁴ cm
refractive index = μ = 1.375
distance traveled is double which is equal to 2 x 10⁻⁴ cm
a) Number of wave
N = 2.91
N = 3
b) phase difference is equal to
Reflection from the first surface has a 180° (½λ) phase change.
There is no phase change for the 2nd surface reflection and there is no phase difference for the 2nd wave having traveled an exact whole number of waves.
net phase difference =
= 270°
