The resistance of a wire depends upon the material's resistivity and the length and cross‑sectional area of the wire. What will

happen to the resistance of a wire if its length is multiplied by 4?

Answer:

R' = 4R

The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire at room temperature, is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A   ----------- equation 1

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire

Now, if the length (L) is multiplied by 4, then resistance will become:

R' = ρ(4L)/A

R' = 4 (ρL/A)

using equation 1:

<u>R' = 4R</u>

<u>The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.</u>

Lorico [155]
The plant will not grow. In fact it could have all the nutrients and all the water it needs, but without a sufficient amount of light, it could die because its leaves are meant for a certain minimum amount of light.

I'll come back and see if you have posted the question you wanted and edit my answer.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

Explanation:

<em>An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which reads W as the weight. The top of the block is a height h below the surface of the fluid. The correct equation for the reading of the scale is</em>

From Archimedes' principle we know that a body when immersed in a fluid, fully or partially, experiences an the upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. As the body is fully submerged in water, volume of water displaced  

density of iron =mass/ volume

rho=m/l3

mass=rhol3

weight fluid=rhofluid*g*Volume

weight of fluid=rhofluid*g*l3

F=∀fl*g*l3

Downward force is weight of iron

w=m*g

Reading on the spring scale

R=w-F

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

m=mass of iron

g=acceleration due to ravity

rhfld=density of fluid

l3=volume of fluid displaced
