Answer:

44.95 tonnes

Explanation:

According to principle of buoyancy the object will just sink when it's weight is more than the weight of the liquid it displaces

It is given that empty weight of box = 40 tons

Let the mass of the stones to be placed be = M tonnes

Thus the combined mass of box and stones = (40+M) tonnes..........(i)

Since the box will displace water equal to it's volume V we have volume of box = 25ft*10ft*12ft= 3000ft^{3}

Volume= 84.95m^{3}

Since 1ft^{3} =0.028m^{3}

Now the weight of water displaced = Weight =\rho \times Volumewhererho is density of water = 1000kg/m^{3}

Thus weight of liquid displaced = \frac{84.95X1000}{1000}tonnes=84.95 tonnes..................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

40 + M = 84.95

thus Mass of stones = 44.95 tonnes

Answer:

social regulation.

Explanation:

Social regulation are rules set aside to protect the environment or restrain activities that poses threat to public health and safety, examples includes environment pollution which includes lands, air, water etc, unhealthy work environment, etc. This rules identify activities that are allowed or under sanction for individuals, firms and government, breaking this rules most times comes with heavy fines or sanctions.

Social regulation help to see to the safety and well being of our environment, it serves as a guide for human activities.

a) A total charge Q = 23.6 μC is deposited uniformly on the surface of a hollow sphere with radius R = 26.1 cm. Use ε0 = 8.85419
dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) E = 0 N/C

(b) E = 0 N/C

(c) E = 7.78 x10^5 N/C

Explanation:

We are given a hollow sphere with following parameters:

Q = total charge on its surface = 23.6 μC = 23.6 x 10^-6 C

R = radius of sphere = 26.1 cm = 0.261 m

Permittivity of free space = ε0 = 8.85419 X 10−12 C²/Nm²

The formula for the electric field intensity is:

E = (1/4πεo)(Q/r²)

where, r = the distance from center of sphere where the intensity is to be found.

(a)

At the center of the sphere r = 0. Also, there is no charge inside the sphere to produce an electric field. Thus the electric field at center is zero.

<u>E = 0 N/C</u>

(b)

Since, the distance R/2 from center lies inside the sphere. Therefore, the intensity at that point will be zero, due to absence of charge inside the sphere (q = 0 C).

<u>E = 0 N/C</u>

(c)

Since, the distance of 52.2 cm is outside the circle. So, now we use the formula to calculate the Electric Field:

E = (1/4πεo)[(23.6 x 10^-6 C)/(0.522m)²]

<u>E = 7.78 x10^5 N/C</u>
