Answer:
0.056 psi more pressure is exerted by filled coat rack than an empty coat rack.
Explanation:
First we find the pressure exerted by the rack without coat. So, for that purpose, we use formula:
P₁ = F/A
where,
P₁ = Pressure exerted by empty rack = ?
F = Force exerted by empty rack = Weight of Empty Rack = 40 lb
A = Base Area = 452.4 in²
Therefore,
P₁ = 40 lb/452.4 in²
P₁ = 0.088 psi
Now, we calculate the pressure exerted by the rack along with the coat.
P₂ = F/A
where,
P₂ = Pressure exerted by rack filled with coats= ?
F = Force exerted by filled rack = Weight of Filled Rack = 65 lb
A = Base Area = 452.4 in²
Therefore,
P₂ = 65 lb/452.4 in²
P₂ = 0.144 psi
Now, the difference between both pressures is:
ΔP = P₂ - P₁
ΔP = 0.144 psi - 0.088 psi
<u>ΔP = 0.056 psi</u>
There is a gel (agarose) that is placed in abuffer-filled box and an electrical
field is applied via a power supply. The negative terminal
is at the far end (black wire), this causes DNA migrates toward the anode (red
wire).
Well, 0.1 is actually less than 0.7, but I understand what you're asking.
The coefficient of friction describes the relationship between two surfaces
that are sliding by each other. The higher the coefficient of friction is, the
'rougher' the meeting is, and the harder it is for one to slide over the other.
A skate blade against ice has a very low coefficient of friction. Sandpaper
against blue jeans has a high coefficient of friction.
A higher coefficient of friction means that when one thing is sliding over
the other one, friction robs more energy from the motion. It's harder to
push one thing over the other one, and when you let go, the moving one
slows down and stops sooner.
Air resistance is actually an example of friction. It prevents falling things
from falling as fast as they would if there were no air. The coefficient of
friction when something moves through air is pretty low. If the same
object were trying to move through molasses or honey, the coefficient
of friction would be greater.
Friction robs energy, and turns it into heat. So, especially in machinery with
moving parts, we want to make the coefficient of friction between the moving parts
as small as possible. That's what the OIL in a car's engine is for.
