The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).

A cylindrical container with a cross-sectional area of 66.2 cm2 holds a fluid of density 856 kg/m3 . At the bottom of the contai

Ugo [173]

Answer:

A. h = 2.15 m

B. Pb' = 122 KPa

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) Let us assume the depth be h

As we know that

$Pb - Pat = d \times g \times h \\\\ ( 119 - 101) \times 10^3 = 856 \times 9.8 \times h$

After solving this,

h = 2.15 m

Therefore the depth of the fluid is 2.15 m

Given that

height of the extra fluid is

$h' = \frac{2.35 \times 10^{-3}}{ area} \\\\ h' = \frac{2.35 \times 10^{-3}} { 66.2 \times 10^{-4}}$

h' = 0.355 m

Now let us assume the pressure at the bottom is Pb'

so, the equation would be

$Pb' - Pat = d \times g \times (h + h')\\\\Pb' = 856 \times 9.8 \times ( 2.15 + 0.355) + 101000$

Pb' = 122 KPa
