What is the difference between weight and mass?

The car hoist allows the car to be driven onto the platform, after which the rear wheels are raised. if the loading from both rear wheels is 1380 lb, determine the force in the hydraulic cylinder ab. neglect the weight of the platform itself. member bcd is a right-angle bell crank pinned to the ramp at c. the force is positive if in tension, negative if in compression.

Abeam of electrons with of wavelength of 7.5 x 10-6 m is incident on a pair of narrow rectangular slits separated by 0.75 mm. the resulting interference pattern is projected onto a screen 10.0 m from the slits. what is the separation of the interference maxima in the resulting interference pattern?

I'm thinking it's 2 you are asked to explain the earth's magnetic field. which is the best reply? 1. the earth's magnetic south is similar to the north pole of a magnet. 2. the earth's core has a strong magnetic charge similar to the south pole of a magnet. 3. the earth's geomagnetic south is similar to the south pole of a magnet. 4. the earth's magnetic charge is not centered at either pole; it varies based on location.
