<h2>Without being able to look into the Earth, a scientist would not be able to determine if this region has karst topography, is a false statement</h2>

Explanation:

Karst topography can be observed by looking into the earth’s external surface structures like barren rocky grounds, caves, underground rivers, sinkholes and other karst landscapes.
Karst topography results due to erosion of limestone by the excavation of underground water. When rainwater erodes the soft rocks like limestone it begins to slowly dissolve in water.
Over repeated erosion, only the rocky cliffs remain on the surface. When an underground river emerges from sinkholes in a karst landscape, the rocky remains form caves.
So by studying these external surfaces itself, the scientist can determine if a region has karst topography

ALL OF MY POINTS FOR THIS!

scoray [572]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

   Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

   = (1,127 kg) x (6 m/s² forward)

   = (1,127 x 6) newtons forward

   = 6,762 newtons forward
______________________________

   Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

   =   (69 kg) x (6 m/s)

   = 414 kg-m/s

Mumz [18]

Complete Question:

Given $\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$ at a point. What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$ ? Are there any shear stresses acting on this surface?

Answer:

Force per unit area, $\sigma_n = 28 MPa$

There are shear stresses acting on the surface since $\tau \neq 0$

Explanation:

$\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$

equation of the normal, $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$

$\b n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

Traction vector on n, $T_n = \sigma \b n$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{27}{\sqrt{33} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

To get the Force per unit area acting normal to the surface, find the dot product of the traction vector and the normal.

$\sigma_n = T_n . \b n$

$\sigma \b n = (\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z) . ((1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + 0 \b e_y +(1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\sigma \b n = 28 MPa$

If the shear stress, $\tau$ , is calculated and it is not equal to zero, this means there are shear stresses.

$\tau = T_n - \sigma_n \b n$

$\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - 28( (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - [ (28/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (28/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z]\\\\\tau = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

$\tau = \sqrt{(-5/\sqrt{2})^2 + (27/\sqrt{2})^2 + (5/\sqrt{2})^2} \\\\ \tau = 19.74 MPa$

Since $\tau \neq 0$ , there are shear stresses acting on the surface.
