R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14 series combination of R1 & R4
R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25
The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel
R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788 this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3
R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler
Gravity affects weight of an object
Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away
Hope this helps C:
Alright here the answer to number 2
