- pls. see the attached photo, please help me huhuarrow_forwardA commonly used unit in everyday language to state weight is the pound (lb). There are actually several formal definitions of pound. One classification system defines a pound-mass (analogous to kg in SI units) and a pound-force (lbf) (analogous to a Newton); this is formally called English Engineering units but also commonly used in US Customary System units. The “pound” in the “pounds per square inch” of psi refers to pound-force. Hence, psi has units of force per area. Note that 1 lbf is defined as the gravitational force generated by 1 lb (mass) by multiplying it by the standard gravitational acceleration at the earth’s surface. Starting with just the two everyday conversion approximations every Canadian should know (1.00 kg ≈ 2.20 lb (mass) and 1.00 inch ≈ 2.54 cm), derive an approximation of 1.00 psi in Pa through unit conversions only (show each step).arrow_forwardPLEASE SHOW SOLUION STEP BY STEP WITH UNITS.

Water tank selection More or less 25 liters *For tank selection we need to justify the size with the center of gravity, proving that is the maximum dimension or liters of the tank because the center of gravity will be higher making the rover prone to toppling Pump selection *Our sprayer design has two nozzles which splits using a tee splitter, we need to find the size of the pump to obtain the same discharge rate of a normal sprayer.
