A barometer is an instrument used to measure air pressure. A barometer is a tube with mercury inside of it. It's open on one end and closed on another and the weight of the air pushes on the mercury inside of the tube.

If the point of the nail can be approximated as a circle with a radius 2.00×10^-3m What is the pressure in MPa exerted on the wa
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

8.28 MPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the area of the nail (i.e circle). This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Area (A) of circle =?

Pi (π) = 3.14

A = πr²

A = 3.14 × (2×10¯³)²

A = 3.14 × 4×10¯⁶

A = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Next, we shall determine the pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Area (A) = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F / A

P = 104 / 1.256×10¯⁵

P = 8280254.78 Nm¯²

Finally, we shall convert 8280254.78 Nm¯² to MPa. This can be obtained as follow:

1 Nm¯² = 1×10¯⁶ MPa

Therefore,

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8280254.78 Nm¯² × 1×10¯⁶ MPa / 1 Nm¯²

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8.28 MPa

Thus, the pressure exerted on the wall is 8.28 MPa

Hunter-Best [27]
For the equation to balance out, you would need 2 H2O on the product. That will give a total of 1 Carbon, 4 Hydrogens and 4 Oxygens on each side.
