Answer:

D) 13.62 kg/L

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple rule of three.

The problem states that Mercury has a dansy of 30 lbs/L, and asks what is the density in kg/L. We have to convert from lbs to kg.

Each lb has 0.454 kg? How many kg are there in 30 lbs?

So:

1 lb - 0.454kg

30 lb - x kg

x = 30(0.454)

x = 13.62

This means that mercury's density in kg/L is 13.62, letter D. Letter A is also 13.62, however it is not in the unit asked.

What is onshore wind and offshore wind.
irina1246 [14]

An onshore wind is any wind that blows from a body of water toward land. An offshore wind is any wind that blows from the land toward body of water.

Explanation:

The onshore winds are winds that form over larger bodies of water.

  • These winds move from the body of water toward the land, usually during the day.
  • The reason for that is that the bodies of water have lower temperature during the day, so the air above them is cooler, denser, so it moves toward the less dense, warmer air over the land.

The offshore winds are winds that form over land.

  • These winds move from the land toward a body of water, usually during the night.
  • The land heats up faster than the water, but also cools off quicker than the water, so at night the land is cooler. Because of it, the air masses that form over the land are more dense, so they move toward the less dense air masses over the water bodies.
