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 vector C is added to vector D, the result is a third vector that is perpendicular to D and has a magnitude equal to 3D. What
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(e) 3.2

Explanation:

We are given that vector C and D.

Let R be the magnitude of C+D.

According to question

R=3D

We have to find the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D.

By using right triangle property

C^2=R^2+D^2

C^2=(3D)^2+D^2

C^2=9D^2+D^2

C^2=10D^2

C=\sqrt{10D^2}=3.2D

\frac{C}{D}=3.2

Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D=3.2

(e) 3.2

Why must one use a reference point to determine whether or not an object is in motion
GaryK [48]
Because there's no such thing as "really" moving. 
ALL motion is always relative to something.

Here's an example:
You're sitting in a comfy cushy seat, reading a book and listening
to your .mp3 player, and you're getting drowsy.  It's so warm and
comfortable, your eyes are getting so heavy, finally the book slips
out of your hand, falls into your lap, and you are fast asleep.

-- Relative to you, the book is not moving at all.
-- Relative to the seat, you are not moving at all.
-- Relative to the wall and the window, the seat is not moving at all.
-- But your seat is in a passenger airliner.  Relative to people on the
    ground, you are moving past them at almost 500 miles per hour !
-- Relative to the center of the Earth, the people on the ground are moving
   in a circle at more than 700 miles per hour.  
-- Relative to the center of the Sun, the Earth and everything on it are moving
   in a circle at about 66,700 miles per hour ! 

How fast are they REALLY moving ?
There's no such thing.
It all depends on what reference you're using.
