The answers is A and C hope this helps :)
Answer:
k_max = 31.82 w/mk
k_min = 17.70 w/mk
Explanation:
a) the maximum thermal conductivity is given as

where k_m is thermal conductvitiy of metal
k_p is thermal conductvitiy of carbide
v_m = proportion of metal in the cement = 0.17
v_p = proportion of carbide in the cement = 0.83
= 66*0.17 + 28*0.83
k_max = 31.82 w/mk
b) the minimum thermal conductivity is given as

= \frac{28+66}{28*0.17 +66*0.83}
k_min = 17.70 w/mk
We are given that a 500 kg object is hanging from a spring. To determine the amount the spring is stretched we will use Hook's law, which states the following:

Where:

Since the object is hanging the only force acting on the spring is the weight of the object. The weight of the object is:

Where:

Plugging in the values we get:

Solving the operations:

Now we solve for "x" from Hook's law by dividing both sides by "k":

Now we plug in the known values:

Solving the operations:

Therefore, the spring is stretched by 5.4 meters.
Explanation:
This process is called Bonding and it is done to provide low resistance path to ground.
"Bonding — a low impedance direction achieved by permanently connecting all non-current-carrying metal parts to maintain electrical stability and to be able to conduct any current that is likely to be put on it safely.
Gravitational force is given as

so here gravitational force will be given by above formula where the force between two objects depends on the mass of two objects and distance between them.
Now here since the tool is at finite distance from Astronaut and Moon, Sun, Earth
So all the above will exert gravitational force on the tool but the magnitude of force will be different as all of the above are of different masses and situated at different distance.
So all options are correct here
The Astronaut
The Moon
The Sun
The Earth
