Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>D. 803 lbs</u>

Comparing the speed of sound in liquids, gases, and solids, the speed of sound is usually lowest in ( ) and highest in ( ).
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

the answer is the 4th one. the speed of sound is lowest in gas and highest in solid and its because the molecules in solid is closer to each other than the molecules in gas and when the molecules are close to each other, they allow the waves of the sound to travel more quickly.

Elanso [62]
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. <span>Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.</span></span>

Suppose a piano tuner stretches a steel piano wire 7.5 mm. The wire was originally 0.975 mm in diameter, 1.45 m long, and has a
Tasya [4]

The forces a piano tuner applies to stretch the steel piano wire willl be 1.4 × 10¹¹ N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body. Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

The application of a force may be used to describe the steel as an elastic element within a certain range of applied force.

Given data;

Young modulus, E=2.10 × 10¹¹ N/m²

Cross-sectional area,A

Final length,\rm L_f = 1.45 m = 1450 \ mm

Initial length,\rm L_i = 7.5 mm

\rm F  = \frac{(L_f-L_i)(E)(A)}{L_1} \\\\ \rm F  = \frac{(1450 - 7.5)(2.0 \times 0^{11})(0.746)}{1450} \\\\ F = 1.4 \times 10^{11} \ N

Hence, the force a piano tuner applies to stretch the steel piano wire willl be 1.4 × 10¹¹ N.
