Answer:

15"

Explanation:

Let x be the length of the longer part, then the length of the shorter part is 3x/5, or also x - 6

therefore we have the following equation:

3x/5 = x - 6

We can multiply both sides by 5

3x = 5x - 6*5

2x = 30

x = 30/2 = 15"

So the length of the longer part is 15"

When a piece of iron or mass 78 gm is put in a graduated cylinder containing 100 cm cube of water the reading of the cylinder be
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Ro = 7.8 [g/cm³]

Explanation:

According to the principle of Archimedes, the volume of a body immersed in a liquid is equal to the volume displaced by water. That is, in this problem The displacement volume is equal to the new volume minus the original volume.

V_{n}=110[cm^{3} ]\\V_{o}=100[cm^{3} ]\\V_{d}=110-100 = 10 [cm^{3} ]

We now know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

Ro = m/V_{d}

where:

Ro = density [g/cm³]

m = mass = 78 [g]

Vd = displacement volume [cm³]

Ro = 78/10\\Ro = 7.8 [g/cm^{3} ]

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Pressure,P=6×10^3Pa

Explanation:

The gas has an ideal gas behaviour and ideal gas equation

PV=NKT

T= V/N p/K ...eq1

Average transitional kinetic energy Ktr=1.8×10-23J

Ktr=3/2KT

T=2/3Ktr/K....eq2

Equating eq1 and 2

V/N p/K = 2/3Ktr/K

Cancelling K on both sides

P= 2/3N/V( Ktr)

Substituting the value of N/V and dividing by 10^-6 to convert cm^3 to m^3

P = 2/3 (5.0×10^20)/10^-6 × 1.8×10^-23

P= 6 ×10^3Pa
