Explanation:
The table is level and there are no other forces on the book, so the normal force is equal to the weight.
N = mg
N = (2.3 kg) (9.8 m/s²)
N = 22.5 N
Answer:
609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa
Explanation:
Step 1:
Data obtained from the question. This include the following:
Force (F) = 49.8 N
Radius (r) = 0.00510 m
Pressure (P) =..?
Step 2:
Determination of the area of the head of the nail.
The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:
Area (A) = πr²
With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:
Radius (r) = 0.00510 m
Area (A) =?
A = πr²
A = π x (0.00510)²
A = 8.17×10^-5 m²
Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²
Step 3:
Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.
This is illustrated below:
Force (F) = 49.8 N
Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²
Pressure (P) =..?
Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)
P = F/A
P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5
P = 609547.12 N/m²
Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.
1 N/m² = 1 Pa
Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa
Answer:
1.36 x 10^-3 cm
Explanation:
Area = 50 ft^2 = 46451.5 cm^2
mass = 6 oz = 170.097 g
density = 2.70 g/cm^3
Let t be the thickness of foil in cm.
mass = volume x density
mass = area x thickness x density
170.097 = 46451.5 x t x 2.70
t = 1.36 x 10^-3 cm
Thus, the thickness of aluminium foil is 1.36 x 10^-3 cm.
Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. So the answer is scalar quantities.
