Answer:

Emissions per second = 0.36

Explanation:

Please find the attached question

Solution

Given  

Let X be the rate of background emission.

X = B/t  

Where B = 36

And t = 100

X = 36/100 = 0.36

65. The weight of a body when totally immersed in a liquid is 4.2N if he weight of the liquid displaced is 2.5N. Find the weight
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Given, Apparent weight(W₂)=4.2N

          Weight of liquid displaced (u)=2.5N

          Let weight of body in air = W₁

Solution,

             U=W₁-W₂

              W₁=4.2=2.5=6.7N

∴Weight of body in air is 6.7N
