Answer:
Making the lumber thick will make it stiff, which seems good. On the other hand, with thicker lumber, differences in expansion on the two faces have more leverage to make the lumber move.
I am thinking that maybe the problem is not with the calibration. It might be that the buffered solution is already expired since at this point the solution is already not stable and will give a different pH reading than what is expected.
Answer:
Mass of the oil drop, 
Explanation:
Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V
Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m
If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :
, e is the charge on electron
E is the electric field, 
So, the mass of the oil drop is 
. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:</h2>
(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C
(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)
Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;
=> Q = 110A·h
=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h [1 hour = 3600 seconds]
=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s
=> Q = 396000A·s
=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C
Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C
(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;
E = Q x V -----------------(i)
Where;
Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C
V = electric potential = 12V
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12
E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J
E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J
Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J
