Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.

A meter rule balance on a knife headge at the 55cm mark wheb a mass of 40g from 995cm .find the mass of the meter rule.
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Let the weight of the ruler be X.

Now X acts in the middle, so we have 55-50 = 50cm

Since left hand movement= right hand movement

X(55-50)=90(95-55)

5X= 90×40

X=320cm

Hence the weight of the ruler is 320g

A large aquarium of height 5 m is filled with fresh water to a depth of D = 1.80 m. One wall of the aquarium consists of thick p
Damm [24]

To solve the problem we will first start considering the Pressure given the hydrostatic definition of the product between the density, the gravity and the depth. We will define the area where the liquid acts and later we will use the definition of the force as a product between the pressure and the area to calculate the force given in the two depths. The gauge pressure at the depth x will be

(P-P_a)= \rho g x

This pressure acts on the strip of area

dA = 7.6dx

The force acting on that strip is given by,

dF = (P-P_a)dA

dF = \rho g xdA

dF = 7.6 \rho g x dx

To evaluate the force, we will then consider the integral of the pressure as a function of the Area, or the integral of the previously found terms.

F = \int_0^x 7.6 \rho g x dx

F = 3.8 \rho g x^2

Evaluating at the initial depth of 1.8m and the final depth of 4.4 we have then that,

F_{1.8} = 3.8 (998)(9.8)(1.8)^2 = 120416.28N

F_{4.4} = 3.8(998)(9.8)(4.4)^2 = 719524.46N

Therefore the Net force will be

F = F_{4.4}-F_{1.8}

F = 719524.46-120416.28

F = 599108.18N

What form of braking is used to bring a vehicle to a smooth stop by applying smooth,steady pressure to the brake
Sav [38]

Answer:

Controlled braking

Explanation:

CONTROLLED BRAKING occur in a situation where a person or an individual driving a vehicle releases the brake and slowly apply smooth as well as firmly pressure on the brake without the wheels been locked which is why CONTROLLED BRAKING are often used for emergency stops by drivers reason been that it helps to reduce speed when driving as fast as possible while the driver maintain the steering control of the vehicle.

Therefore the form of braking which is used to bring a vehicle to a smooth stop by applying smooth,steady pressure to the brake is called CONTROLLED BRAKING.
