Answer:

<em>1.06 atm</em>

Explanation:

On the open end of the tube, the pressure will be the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the height of water

The pressure due to a height of water = ρgh

where ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the height of the water column

The height of water column on the open end = 100 cm = 1 m

pressure on this end = ρgh = 1000 x 9.81 x 1 = 9810 Pa

Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

The total pressure on the open end =  101325 Pa + 9810 Pa = <em>111135 Pa</em>

The pressure due to the water column on the closed end = ρgh

The height of the water in the closed end = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The pressure due to this column of water = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = <em>3924 Pa</em>

The resultant pressure on the water on the top of the closed end of the tube = 111135 Pa - 3924 Pa =<em> 107211 Pa</em>

In atm unit, this pressure = 107211/101325 = <em>1.06 atm</em>

According to a college survey, 22% of all students work full time. find the mean for the number of 3) students who work full tim
attashe74 [19]

Assuming that the students worldwide are being considered, because of the extremely large population, this can be considered as a binomial distribution. A normal distribution is used most usually as a fair approximation of the binomial. The mean is the expectation, therefore:<span>
E[x] = np = (16)(0.22) = 3.52 
<span>μ = 3.52 </span></span>

Can anyone tell me what's the base quantities for Force, Pressure and Charge?​
mr Goodwill [35]

Force, pressure, and charge are all what are called <em>derived units</em>. They come from algebraic combinations of <em>base units</em>, measures of things like length, time, temperature, mass, and current. <em>Speed, </em>for instance, is a derived unit, since it's a combination of length and time in the form [speed] = [length] / [time] (miles per hour, meters per second, etc.)

Force is defined with Newton's equation F = ma, where m is an object's mass and a is its acceleration. It's unit is kg·m/s², which scientists have called a <em>Newton</em>. (Example: They used <em>9 Newtons</em> of force)

Pressure is force applied over an area, defined by the equation P = F/A. We can derive its from Newtons to get a unit of N/m², a unit scientists call the <em>Pascal</em>. (Example: Applying <em>100 Pascals </em>of pressure)

Finally, charge is given by the equation Q = It, where I is the current flowing through an object and t is how long that current flows through. It has a unit of A·s (ampere-seconds), but scientist call this unit a Coulomb. (Example: 20 <em>Coulombs</em> of charge)
