Old thermometers contained very small amounts of mercury. The mercury in the photo has a melting point of −38.8 °C. What can you conclude about the melting point of the mercury in old thermometers? A. Its melting point can only be determined when the mercury is burned.
B. Its melting point changes as the mercury’s temperature changes.
C. Its melting point equals −38.8 °C because it is mercury.
D. Its melting point is less than −38.8 °C because its volume is smaller.

Acylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 gpa (30 × 106psi) and an original diameter of 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) experiences only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 n (2000 lbf) is applied. compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)

Atank holds 1000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in half an hour. the values in the table show the volume v of water remaining in the tank (in gallons) after t minutes.t(min) 5 10 15 20 25 30v(gal) 694 444 250 111 28 0(a) if p is the point (15, 250) on the graph of v, find the slopes of the secant lines pq when q is the point on the graph with t = 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30.(b) estimate the slope of the tangent line at p by averaging the slopes of two secant lines.(c) use a graph of the function to estimate the slope of the tangent line at p. (this slope represents the rate at which the water is flowing from the tank after 15 minutes.)show all steps.
