Answer:

2625.156\ \text{N}

Explanation:

Dimensions of mattress 100 cm by 194 cm by 14 cm

m_m = Mass of mattress = 4 kg

\rho = Density of water = 1000\ \text{kg/m}^3

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Volume of mattress

V=100\times 194\times 14=271600\ \text{cm}^3=0.2716\ \text{m}^3

Weight of water displaced is equal to the buoyant force

Mass of water

m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=1000\times 0.2716\\\Rightarrow m=271.6\ \text{kg}

Mass of person would be

m_p=m-m_m=271.6-4\\\Rightarrow m_p=267.6\ \text{kg}

Weight of the person would be

w=m_pg\\\Rightarrow w=267.6\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow w=2625.156\ \text{N}

The air mattress could hold a person that weighs up to 2625.156\ \text{N}.

If the torque required to loosen the nut that is holding a flat tire in a place on a car has a magnitude of 35 N•m what minimum
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: F = 130 N

Explanation: Solution:

Convert first 27 cm to m.

27 cm  x 0.01 m / 1 cm = 0.27 m

Calculate the torque using T = Fd

Derive to find force F

F = T /d

  = 35 N.m / 0.27 m

  = 130 N

I need help with nine and 10 I will really appreciate it
horsena [70]

Answer:

9] V = D ÷ T

Take any distance value from the graph and its relevant time.

V = 4 ÷ 2

V = 2 m/s

[You will notice that any distance values with its time will give you 2 m/s as its speed. This means that speed is constant throughout.]

10] Take the distance value and its time for the highest peak of B.

V = 20 ÷ 2

V = 10 m/s

Increase 90 in the ratio 6 : 5​
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

<em>108</em>

Explanation:

<u>Proportions </u>

Two quantities are proportional when one of them can be obtained by multiplying or dividing the other by a constant value. For example, knowing the price of one pencil as p, we can know the cost of purchasing X pencils as C=p.X

We are required to increase 90 by the ratio 6:5. The new value will be proportional to the original because we'll compute the product of

\displaystyle 90\ \frac{6}{5}=108

So the new value is 108
