Always use significant figure rules. remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. calculate the force at sea level that a boy of mass 40 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting. n a. 390 b. 40. c. 4

Well I'm going to go with A.

Explanation:

As per the question the mass of the boy is 40 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the weight of the boy  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 40 kg.

                             Therefore, w = 40 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =392 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 392 N

392 is not an option but I'm guessing you can round down 2 .to option A. 390...?

the answer is d. 4

hope this

also the more points you give the faster your questions get answered

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
