The model bridge captures all the structural attributes of the real bridge, at a reduced scale.
Part a.
Note that volume is proportional to the cube of length. Therefore the actual bridge will have 100^3 = 10^6 times the mass of the model bridge.
Because the model bridge weighs 50 N, the real bridge weighs
(50 N)*10^6 = 50 MN.
Part b.
The model bridge matches the structural characteristics of the actual bridge.
Therefore the real bridge will not sag either.
Explanation :
(1) Big bang : (1) The most accepted theory on the origin of the universe.
This theory shows the expanding of the universe from high density and high-temperature states.
(2) Steady state : (3) All is the same and will always stay the same.
Steady state means that the properties of any system remain the same always.
(3) Oscillating universe : (4) Agrees with the big bang theory but insists the universe expanded much quicker.
Oscillating universe theory is the result of big bang theory.
(4) Inflation Choices : (2) it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops.
In cosmology, cosmic inflation or deflation is just the expanding and contraction of the universe.
So, the statements and the choices are related as:
(1)-(1)
(2)- (3)
(3)-(4)
(4)-(2)
