Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round b. when ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last c. the height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes d. photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body e. the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year Submit Your Answer

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

You are assigned the design of a cylindrical, pressurized water tank for a future colony on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 meters per second per second. The pressure at the surface of the water will be 150 KPa , and the depth of the water will be 14.4 m . The pressure of the air in the building outside the tank will be 88.0 KPa .
Find the net downward force on the tank's flat bottom, of area 2.15 m2 , exerted by the water and air inside the tank and the air outside the tank.
