The diameter of the sphere is 2cm.
<h3>How to calculate the diameter?</h3>From the diagram, the first sphere on the ruler is at 4cn and the last sphere is at 12cm.
Therefore, the length will be:
= 12 - 4.
= 8cm
The diameter of one sphere will be:
= Length / 4
= 8/4
= 2
Therefore, the diameter of the sphere is 2cm.
Note that the second question wasn't found online.

Answer:
Toward the centre of the circular path
Explanation:
The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).
In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by
where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
