b. bathing.
c. toilets.
d. laundry.
Answer to Problem 1AC
Solution:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Water is an essential resources for survival of life. Water is used in many areas of a household, for example, cooking, drinking, washing, laundry etc.
Explanation:
Reason for the correct option:
The quantity of water used in the household is different in different purposes as per requirement. In U. S., the percentage use of water for cooking and drinking
Thus, the maximum householdwater used in the U. S. is
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Reason for the incorrect options:
Option (a) is incorrect because in the U. S., the percentage of waterused for cooking and drinking is
Option (b) is incorrect becausein the U. S., the percentage of water used for bathing is
Option (d) is incorrect becausein the U. S., the percentage of water used forlaundry is
Hence, options (a), (b) and (d) are incorrect.
Conclusion:
The maximum use of household water is for toilet in the U. S.

- 4 Problem 4) A particle is being pushed up a smooth slot by a rod. At the instant when 0 = rad, the angular speed of the arm is ė = 1 rad/sec, and the angular acceleration is = 2 rad/sec². What is the net force acting on the 1 kg particle at this instant? Express your answer as a vector in cylindrical coordinates. Hint: You can express the radial coordinate as a function of the angle by observing a right triangle.
