Answer:

3.33 m

Explanation:

Pressure is the distributed force applied to the surface of an object per unit area. The force is applied perpendicular to the surface of the object. The SI unit of pressure is N/m² or Pa.

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that a fluid exerts at a point due to the force of gravity.

The relationship between  pressure on the bottom of the container,  atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the depth of the fluid is given by:

P_{bottom}-P_{atm}=P_{depth}\\\\where\ P_{bottom}=pressure\ at\ the \ fluid\ bottom,\ P_{atm}=atmospheric\ pressure\\P_{depth}=pressure\ due\ to\ fluid\ depth=\rho gh. \ Hence:\\\\P_{bottom}-P_{atm}=\rho gh\\\\Given \ that\ P_{bottom}=115\ kPa=115*10^3\ Pa, let\ us\ assume\ P_{atm}=101\ kPa=101*10^3\ Pa,\rho=420\ kg/m^3,g=acceleration\ due\ to \ gravity=10\ m/s^2.\\\\Therefore:\\\\115*10^3-101*10^3=420*10*h\\\\14*10^3=4200h\\\\h=3.33\ m\\\\

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

What is the oxidation number of the element Se
maria [59]

Answer:

The oxidation number of a monatomic (composed of one atom) ion is the same as the charge of the ion. For example, the oxidation numbers of K+, Se2−, and Au3+ are +1, -2, and +3, respectively. The oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds is −2.
