Explain what it means when we say that Earth’s oceans are in hydrostatic equilibrium. Now suppose you are a scuba diver. Would y

ou expect the pressure to increase or decrease as you dive below the surface to a depth of 200 feet? Why?

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrostatics put simply means fluids at rest (hydro-fluid, static-rest)

Oceans are basically bodies of fluid (water),

and as such they are in hydrostatic equilibrium or hydrostatic balance when they are at rest, or when the velocity of flow in them are constant over a given time. Hydrostatic equilibrium usually occurs when external forces acting on the ocean bodies balance each other out. An example is the force of gravity being balanced by a pressure-gradient force.

The pressure felt by a body in a fluid (water) is given by the formula P = ρgh

Where ρ is the density of the fluid

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the depth of the body in the fluid.

ρg is constant for water and as a result the pressure you will feel in an ocean will depend on how far below the surface you are, h. The lower inside the water you are the higher the pressure you feel.

What is folk remedies
mario62 [17]

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do. 

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe.  What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.

The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{a_cr}

v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}

v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N
