As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

The statement is true in this situation is C. The size of Ffric is the same as the size of Fapp:

From the diagram, since the body is in equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces equals zero. Also, the sum of horizontal forces equal zero.

So, ∑Fx = 0 and ∑Fy = 0

Since Fapp acts in the negative x - direction and Ffric acts in the positive x - direction,

∑Fx = -Fapp + Ffric = 0

-Fapp + Ffric = 0

Fapp = Ffric

Also, since Fgrav acts in the negative y - direction and Fnorm acts in the positive y - direction,

∑Fy = Fnorm + (-Fgrav) = 0

Fnorm - Fgrav = 0

Fnorm = Fgrav

So, we see that the size of Fapp <u>equals</u> size of Ffric and the size of Fnorm <u>equals</u> the size of Fgrav.

So, the correct option is C

The statement which is true in this situation is C. The size of Ffric is the same as the size of Fapp.

liubo4ka [24]

The mass of water in the tank, given the data from the question is 549594 g

<h3> Description of mole </h3>

The mole of a substance is related to it's mass and molar mass according to the following equation:

Mole = mass / molar mass

<h3>How to determine the mass of water in the tank</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Mole of water = 30533 moles
  • Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
  • Mass of water = ?

The mass of the water can be obtained as follow:

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of water = 30533 × 18

Mass of water = 549594 g
