The probability of breaking a tree branch increases while moving towards the tip of the branch: Give reason. ( please help me in solving this)

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle  can be assumed at 30 deg

Atorque acting on an object tends to produce a. equilibrium b. rotation c. linear motion d. velocity e. a center of gravity

A55-kg pilot flies a jet trainer in a half vertical loop of 1200-m radius so that the speed of the trainer decreases at a constant rate. knowing that the plane has a speed of 550 km/h at point a, and the pilot experiences weightlessness at point c (i. e., the normal force from the seat bottom is zero), determine (a) the deceleration of the plane, (b) the force exerted on her by the seat of the trainer when the trainer is at point b.
