Answer:

2 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

The length of a wire, l = 15 m

Force on the wire, F = 60 N

Surface tension on the liquid, S = ?

The formula to solve this problem is given as

F = S * 2 L, where

F = force on the liquid

S = surface tension of the liquid

L= length of the wire

On substituting the values of each, we have

60 = S * (2 * 15)

S = 60 / 30

S = 2 N/m

Thus, we can say then, that the surface tension of the liquid is 2 N/m

The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass
Triss [41]

Answer:

\Delta x=245\ mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, k=1600\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass subjected to the output plunger, m=40\ kg

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

F=m.g

F=40\times 9.8

F=392\ N

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}

\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}

\Delta x=0.245\ m

or

\Delta x=245\ mm

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059

The seismic activity density is 0.0059

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped
Artyom0805 [142]
I already answered this quesiton. The fact is that there are only two kind of poles and since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles of the first two magnets are oppsosite.

Then, the taped pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the first two taped poles and opposite to the other of the first two taped poles.

That drives you to conclude (predict)  that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.
