Answer: A little more that 5 Kg for a healthy person

Explanation: First, we know the following:

The regular adult has from 9 to 12 pints of blood. This is around 5 liters for a healthy male adult.

The human body is composed mostly on water, around 80%.

Blood is mostly composed on plasma, which makes blood thicker than water.

Knowing that, almost all the body is compose of water, it is safe to think that blood density should be near to that of water but higher.

The density on water is a know value. Which makes the following true:

<em>1 Liter of Water weights 1 Kg</em>

<em />

It could be said then, that the total mass of blood for a healthy person should be a little more that 5 kgs.

Kay [80]

Answer:

(a)

4) The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight

(b) The magnitude of buoyancy force is larger than that of ball's weight. The tension on second ball is 158 newtons

(c) The magnitude of buoyancy force is larger than that of ball's weight. The tension on third ball is 218 newtons.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that forces always occurs in pairs. For every reaction there is an equal an opposite reaction. For Ball 1 the magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight. Buoyancy force works against the gravity. Ball 2 and ball 3 have same buoyancy force. The buoyancy force for ball 2 and ball 3 is larger than that of ball's weight.

Tension = Wb - fb

Tension for Ball 2 = 1000 - 842 =  158 newtons

Tension for Ball 3 = 1000 - 1218 = -218 newtons

MariettaO [177]

<span>The middle life crisis occurs for men at age of 39 and for women at age of 44. At this age, people start realizing that they are getting older and experience some physical changes which seem distressful for them.</span>

<span> It affects the sense of accomplishment and progress in career. Due to a midlife crisis, people start engaging in activities to cope with the reality such as wearing clothes that are fashionable, dating someone etc. Yes, I think I will also go through one because it happens with everyone in this age.  It can be avoided by accepting the fact that these changes are reality and everyone have to face it one day.</span>
