Answer:

Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is a Newton per square meter.

Answer:

force per unit area - the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit); "the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure" pressure, pressure level.

A block weighing 400 kg rests on a horizontal surface and supports on top of it ,another block of weight 100 kg which is attache

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$F_a=1470\ N$

Explanation:

Friction Force

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

$\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0$

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

$\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]$

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

$\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0$

The friction forces are computed by

$\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g$

$\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)$

Plugging in the values

$\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]$

$\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}$

6. When adding vectors graphically, the direction and length of each vector must:

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Not be changed

Option: D

Explanation:

The physical quantity which has both ‘magnitude and direction’ is called vector. These vectors are represented by a line and an arrow, the line represent the magnitude and arrow represent the direction of the physical quantity. The vectors are added and subtracted according to the direction of the vectors.

According to the vector law addition while adding vectors direction and length of the vector is not be changed. If the length of the vector changed the magnitude is also changed while so, while adding vectors length must not be changed.

Mass, volume and density are all properties of

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Properties of matter

Explanation:

All properties of matter are either extensive or intensive and either physical or chemical. Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter that is being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of matter.
