He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.
Answer:
Explanation:
unbalance force can be defined as the force that makes object slow up or down, in order words unbalanced force can be defined as anything that can alter the state of motion of an object.
an example of an unbalanced force is likened to a situation of someone inside a lift going for a meeting at the top floor, the force which propels the lift upward is unbalanced, because it is greater than the force acting on the lift.
The height of the oil column above the water in the vessel is determined as 2 cm.
<h3>
Pressure of the vessel</h3>
The pressure of the vessel due to water, oil and silver poured into the vessel is determined from mercury column.
let level of mercury = 20 cm + 0.5 cm = 20.5 cm
20.5 cmHg = 205 mmHg
1 mmHg = 133.32 Pa
205 mmHg = 27,330.6 Pa
<h3>Height of the liquids in the vessel</h3>
P = ρgh
where;
ρ is the density of water, oil and silver respectively
ρ = 1000 kg/m³ + 881 kg/m³ + 10,800 kg/m³ = 12,681 kg/m³
h = P/(ρg)
h = (27,330.6) / (12,681 x 9.8)
h = 0.22 m
h = 22 cm
<h3>Height of oil column</h3>
Oil is less dense than water and will float on water.
Height of oil column = 22 cm - 20 cm = 2 cm

I believe because there is much less air and much more water in the bottom
