Answer:

2870 N

Explanation:

There are three forces on the mattress.  Weight of the mattress, weight of the person, and buoyancy.

∑F = ma

B - mg - Mg = 0

Buoyancy is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

ρVg - mg - Mg = 0

ρV - m = M

Plugging in values:

M = (1000 kg/m³) (0.75 m × 2.25 m × 0.175 m) - 2 kg

M = 293 kg

The person's weight is therefore:

Mg = 293 kg × 9.8 m/s²

Mg = 2870 N

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Delta_temp = 18[°F]

Explanation:

°F = 9/5*(10)

°F = 18

Note: It is important to clarify that it is only a temperature increase, that it is only a temperature increase. The question is not related to converting from 10°C to fahrenheit degrees

krok68 [10]

An irrational number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

4 = 4/1 = rational

0 = 0/1 = rational

-2/3 = rational

4.11111 = irrational

2 = 2/1 = rational

π = 3.141592... = irrational

√6= irrational
