Answer: Weight truck+load = 29.4×10^{3} N

Explanation: When an object floats in a fluid, there is an upward force, caused by the liquid, acting on the object that opposes the weight of the immersed object. This force is called <u>Buyoyant</u> <u>Force</u> and is determined by:

B = d*V*g

where

d is density of the fluid;

V is volume of liquid displaced due to the immersed object;

g is acceleration due to gravity;

For the truck, the system is in equilibrium, which means buyoyant force is equal weight. Then:

Volume displaced is

V = 10*8*0.0375

V = 3 m^{3}

Density of water: 1000kg/m^{3}

F_{P} = F_{B}

F_{P} = 1000*3*9.8

F_{P} = 29.4×10^{3} N

The weight of the truck and the load is 29.4×10^{3} Newtons

Substitution solve for x &amp; y<br>-4x - 2y equals 14<br>-10x+7y=-25​
den301095 [7]

Answer:

-4×-2y=14 (1)

-10×+7y=-25 (2)

multiplying eq 1 by 7 and eq 2 by 2 and add eq. 1 and 2

-28×-14y=98

-20×+14y=-50

___________

-28×=48

×=48/-28

×=-12/7

now

-4×-2y=14

-4*-12/7-2y=14

48/7-2y=14

-2y=14-48/7

-2y=(98-48)/7

-2y=50/7

y=-50/14

y=-25/7

Percentage Error is a measurement of the discrepancy between an observed and a true, or accepted value.

[ refer the attachment. ]

According to Question,

% error = \frac{7.4 - 7.6}{7.6} × 100

= 2.631 % = 2.7 % (approximately.)

hope it helps!
