dimensions of the bed is given as

$length = 2.55 m$

$thickness = 2.53 dm = 0.253 m$

$width = 245 cm = 2.45 m$

now the volume of the bed is given as

$V = 2.55 * 0.253 * 2.45 m^3$

$V = 1.581m^3$

now the mass of water in it is given as

$mass = density * volume$

$mass = 1000* 1.581$

$mass = 1581 kg$

so it will contain 1581 kg mass in it

balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of solid core wire=r=2.28 mm= $2.28\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of each strand of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm= $0.456\times 10^{-3} m$

Current density of each wire= $J=3750 A/m^2$

a.Area = $\pi r^2$

Where $\pi=3.14$

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core = $3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2$

Current density = $J=\frac{I}{A}$

Using the formula

$3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}$

$I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A$

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire= $A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2$

$J'=\frac{I'}{A'}$

$3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2$

$I'=0.047 A$

b.Resistivity of copper wire= $\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m$

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R= $\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire= $R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of strand wire= $R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Answer:

B) 1.0 × 10^5 V

Explanation:

Electric Potential Due To Point Charges

The electric potential produced from a point charge Q at a distance r from the charge is

$\displaystyle V=k\frac{Q}{r}$

The total electric potential for a system of point charges is equal to the sum of their individual potentials. This is a scalar sum, so direction is not relevant.

We must compute the total electric potential in the center of the square. We need to know the distance from all the corners to the center. The diagonal of the square is

$d=\sqrt2 a$

where a is the length of the side.

The distance from any corner to the center is half the diagonal, thus

$\displaystyle r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0.707\ m$

The total potential is

$V_t=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4$

Where V1 and V2 are produced by the +4\mu C charges and V3 and V4 are produced by the two opposite charges of $\pm 3\mu\ C$ . Since all the distances are equal, and the charges producing V3 and V4 are opposite, V3 and V4 cancel each other. We only need to compute V1 or V2, since they are equal, but they won't cancel.
