Vapor pressure<span> or equilibrium </span>vapor pressure<span> is defined as the </span>pressure<span> exerted by a </span>vapor<span> in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a certain temperature. It is independent with atmospheric pressure since it does not change by changing the atmospheric pressure only. </span>

A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

I need a short written description of Newton's three laws.
Tom [10]
Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>
