Answer:

The answer is False.

Explanation:

Type 1 ladders have a duty rating of 250-pounds. The fact that the person is carrying a load means that they are exceeding 250 pounds.

Type 1A would be best.

In other words, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

FOR SUBSTANCE A:

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

FOR SUBSTANCE B:

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

C = 1.16 J/g

Gas is kept in a 0.1 m diameter cylinder under the weight of a 100 kg piston that is held down by a spring with a stiffness k =

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.

Explanation:

For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston

Mathematically we can write

$Force_{pressure}=Force_{spring}+Weight_{piston}$

we know that

$Force_{pressure}=Pressure\times Area=300\times 10^{3}\times \frac{\pi \times 0.1^2}{4}=750\pi Newtons$

$Weight_{piston}=mass\times g=100\times 9.81=981Newtons$

Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by $Force_{spring}=k\cdot x=5\times 10^{3}\times x$

Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

$5\times 10^{3}\times x+981=750\pi \\\\\therefore x=\frac{750\pi -981}{5\times 10^{3}}=0.275meters$
