Answer:

The correct option is: C ) 14.4 lb      

Explanation:

The standard International unit of mass is kilogram, kg. Other commonly used units of mass are grams (g), tonne (t), pounds (lb).

The mass of 500 mL liquid mercury is 6.53 kg.

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 lb ≈ 2.205 lb

Therefore, the mass of 500 mL liquid mercury in pounds = 6.53 × 2.20462 = 14.39619 lb ≈ 14.4 lb.

  • A convex lens is thicker at the center, as compared to its edges, while a concave lens is thinner at the center as compared to its edges.
  • A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle and spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. A convex lens on the other hand, is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center, that is they are bent towards a central point.
