The "D) People perceive objects as a whole" statement best describes an abductive reasoning. The abductive reasoning often has incomplete information as the base of its reasoning and the conclusion for this type of reasoning is not absolute. There will always be additional pieces of evidence and factors that could change the conclusion of this reasoning. Therefore<span> D statement is the most suitable answer.</span>
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³
The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.
Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³
The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
= (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
= 4.5 cm
Answer: 4.5 cm
That would be a frequency of 1.2666... beats per second. This can be phrased as your heart beats at 1.27 Hz.
