Mercury Is more suitable than water cause it is denser than water.

Relation between density and pressure

Pressure = force/area

Replace force by mass * acceleration
Pressure = mass * acceleration/ area

We can replace mass by density * volume since density = mass/ volume
Pressure = density * volume * acceleration/ area

Volume is length^3 whereas area is length ^2. So volume / area = length

Pressure = density * length * acceleration

Gravity is form of acceleration so

Pressure = density * length * gravity
Length can be height or depth

Finally pressure = density * height * gravity

P = ρ g h => pressure of liquid

The rotational speeds of four generators are listed in RPM (revolutions per minute). Arrange the generators in order based on th
artcher [175]

with the same generator, so the only factor for producing the slectric field is only the speed. The faster the rotational speed of the generator the greater it produce electric field. So the sequence is 3000 rpm < 3200 rpm < 3400 rpm < 3600 rpm

A tank is 10 m long, 6 m wide, 3 m high, and contains kerosene with density 820 kg/m3 to a depth of 2.5 m. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Pressure on the bottom

= hdg

= 2.5 x 820 x 9.8

= 20090 N / m²

b )

force = area x pressure

= 20090 x 10 x 6 N

= 1205400 N

c )

Force on 10m x 2.5 m face

center of gravity of the tank will lie at height 2 .5 / 2 = 1.25 m

Pressure = hdg

= 1.25 x 820 x 9.8

= 10045 N/m²

force = pressure x area

= 10045  x 10 x 2.5

= 251125 N .

If g were 15 instead of 9.81, what would your quads look like?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Quads will have more energy

Explanation:

If the acceleration due to gravity increases from 9.81 to 15, then the velocity will increase as the rate of changing velocity i.e acceleration has increased from 9.81 to 15 m/s^2

With increase of velocity, the energy and force will also increase. Hence, the squad will require/have higher energy.

[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap
