Your calculation and explanation are helpful.
Next, Calculate elastic modulusYour observation of the gluten-free pancakes shows that they are much softer. For that reason you only use a 0.7 kg weight. Now the height of the pancake stack decreases from its initial value of 55 mm to a final value of 46 mm. Use these measurements to calculate the elastic modulus of the pancakes. Express your answer in Pascals but without including the unit.Next, Calculating distance between bonds
Given your measurement of the elastic modulus, what is the distance between the bonds in the gluten-free pancakes? Assume that the interaction energy between the molecules in the gluten free pancake recipe is Uint = kBT = 4*10-21J
The cross link distance isa) larger than 1 micronb) between 100 nm and 1 micronc) between 10 nm and 100 nmd) between 1 nm and 10 nme) smaller than 1 nm
Bathyscaphes are capable of submerging to great depths in the ocean. What is the pressure at a depth of 5 km,
assuming sea water has a constant specific weight of 10.1 kN m-³? Express your answer in kilopascals.
The bathyscaphe contains several ballast tanks to regulate its buoyancy. If the dry mass of the bathyscaphe is
800 kg and its volume is 15 m³, the ballast tanks must contain what volume of seawater for the bathyscaphe to begin
to sink?
