Newton (N) is the measure of force whereby N = ma, with m being the mass in kilograms (kg) and a being acceleration (m/s^2). Acceleration in this case is gravity, so assume a = g, with g being roughly equivalent to 9.81 m/s^2.

Setting up the equation: 300 = m(9.81)

Isolate the unknown: m = 300/9.81

Solved: m = 30.581 kg

Round to 3 Significant Figures: 30.6 kg of apples

or

67.3 lbs of apples (since 1 kg = 2.2 lbs)

Seems reasonable for your average grocery bag.

What is breaking stress?

Breaking stress is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand before it breaks. This is also known as ultimate tensile stress.


Why is the pre-perm test curl carried out?

Pre perm testWe do this to make sure your hair is strong enough to withstand the strong chemicals, they will do a pull test on the strands of hair to see if there is any that break off. If they do, they will advise you against getting a perm right now and may have you condition for a month before trying again.


When you are landing in an airplane does the air pressure increase or decrease?

It increases. In an unpressurized airplane, the pressure increases because the air is denser at lower altitudes. In a pressurized airplane, the pressure increases both because the pressure must be equalized before the doors can open and because the hull is not designed to withstand an outside pressure higher than the inside pressure.


What is Bone has a Young's modulus under pressure?

Bone has a Young's modulus of about 18 x 109 Pa. Under compression, it can withstand a stress of about 160 x 106 Pa before breaking. Assume that the femur is 0.5 m long and calculate the amount of compression this bone can withstand without breaking. aB = Y EB = Y (deltaL / Lo) deltaL = (aB / Y) Lo here aB = 160 × 106 Pa; Y = 18 × 109 Pa deltaL = (160 × 106 Pa / 18 × 109 Pa) 0.5 m = 4.3 × 10-3 m = 4.3 mm


What is 170g converted into ml?

This is not a valid conversion. Milliliters (mL or ml) and liters (L) are measures of volume. Grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.

Should you cook the apples before baking an apple pie?
