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>

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

The normal boiling point of cyclohexane is 81.0 oC. What is the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81.0 oC?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81.0°C is 101325 Pa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Boiling point = 81.0°C

Atmospheric pressure :

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere.

The value of atmospheric pressure is

P=101325\ Pa

Vapor pressure :

Vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Hence, The vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81.0°C is 101325 Pa.
