The correct option is (A) <span>the first law of thermodynamics
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics takes the idea of law of conservation of energy and modify it for thermodynamics systems. It is the total internal energy of the systems equals to the amount of heat added "to" the system and the workdone "by" the system given as:
</span>ΔU = Q - W
<span>Q = heat added TO the system
W = work BY the system
</span>ΔU = Total internal energy
<span>
But the total internal energy is CONSERVED; it means that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. Hence the correct option is (A).</span>
Answer:
28,400 N
Explanation:
Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

which acts from above.
The area of the hatch is given by:

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:
