Why does lithostatic pressure increase more rapidly with depth than hydrostatic pressure?

Physics
1 answer:
Rudiy274 years ago

<span>Answer: Because rock is more dense than water

Lithostatic pressure is pressure caused by soil or rock. It similar to hydrostatic pressure, the pressure caused by water. Pressure is force per area and force is dependent on the mass. Rock is denser than water, thus having more mass and more force.</span>

A seesaw made of a plank of mass 10.0 kg and length 3.00 m is balanced on a fulcrum 1.00 m from one end of the plank. A 20.0-kg
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.5 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=10 kg

Length of plank, l=3 m

Distance of fulcrum from one end of the plank=1 m

m_2=20 kg

We have to find the mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

Let m be the mass must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

In balance condition

20\times 1=10\times (1.5-1)+m\times (1.5+0.5)

20=10(0.5)+2m

20=5+2m

2m=20-5=15

\implies m=\frac{15}{2}

m=7.5 kg

Hence, mass 7.5 kg   must be on the other end if the plank remains balanced.

Energy can do blank or bring about change
Mrac [35]

Work

Explanation:

Energy can do work or bring about change.

Energy is simply the ability to do work. When work is done, changes occur in a body.

  • There are different forms of energy and they are all related to work done.
  • When work is done on a body, a force causes a change in that body.
  • Both potential and kinetic energy are the same as work done.
  • Energy is needed to do work.
  • Work is done when a body changes energy.

The density of ocean water increases when it
Andru [333]
The ocean's water's density increases when it gets colder.
The molecules in the water get colder and move less, causing it to densify... As though it were freezing (though we all know the ocean hasn't ever frozen)

relationship beetween image distance,focal length ,power magnification, for both concave and convex lens.​
scoray [572]

Answer:

Object distance means what is the distance between pole and object. Image distance means when image is formed then the distance between pole and image is called image distance. Focal length is the distance between pole and the principal focus of the mirror.

A lens is a clear object, usually made of glass or plastic, which is used to refract, or bend light. Lenses can concentrate light rays (bring them together) or spread them out. Common examples of lenses include camera lenses, telescope lenses, eyeglasses, and magnifying glasses. Lenses are often double lenses, meaning they have two curved sides. A convex lens is rounded outward, while a concave lens curves inward. (A great way to remember this is that a concave lens creates an indent like a cave!)

The image distance can be calculated with the knowledge of object distance and focal length with the help of lens formula. In optics, the relationship between the distance of an image (i), the distance of an object (o), and the focal length (f) of the lens are given by the formula known as Lens formula. Lens formula is applicable for convex as well as concave lenses. These lenses have negligible thickness. It is an equation that relates the focal length, image distance, and object distance for a spherical mirror. It is given as,

1/i + 1/o = 1/f

i= distance of the image from the lens

o= distance of the object from the lens

f= focal length of the lens

Hope it is helpful....
