Correct Answer: three coplaner forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium, if each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
Correct Answer:
Correct Answer: 20 litres
Correct Answer: 40% to 50% in excess of the net area
Correct Answer: All the above.
Correct Answer: at any point within the cross-section
Correct Answer: 1.25
Explanation:
Coeff.compressibility = Coeff.volume change/(1 + e).
(1 + e) = Coeff.volume change/Coeff.compressibility.
e = (Coeff.volume change/Coeff.compressibility) - 1.
e = ((6.75 x 10-2)/(3 x 10-2)) - 1.
e = 2.25 - 1.
e = 1.25.
Correct Answer: boiling
Correct Answer: 0.04 BD
Correct Answer: bath rooms
