Mercury Is more suitable than water cause it is denser than water.

Relation between density and pressure

Pressure = force/area

Replace force by mass * acceleration
Pressure = mass * acceleration/ area

We can replace mass by density * volume since density = mass/ volume
Pressure = density * volume * acceleration/ area

Volume is length^3 whereas area is length ^2. So volume / area = length

Pressure = density * length * acceleration

Gravity is form of acceleration so

Pressure = density * length * gravity
Length can be height or depth

Finally pressure = density * height * gravity

P = ρ g h => pressure of liquid

Answer from: Quest

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this. hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.
