### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: Marble statues are made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). When these statues are exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, they start to corrode. 2. **Identifying the Cause**: The atmosphere contains various gases, including sulfur trioxide (SO3), which is released into the air due to industrial processes and the combustion of sulfur. 3. **Formation of Acid Rain**: Sulfur trioxide (SO3) can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This process is known as acid rain formation. The reaction can be represented as: \[ ...

Spring fitted doors close by themselves when released. You want to keep the door open for a long time, say for an hour. If you put a half kg stone in front of the open door, it does not help. The sotne slides with the door and the door gets closed. However, if you sandwitch a 20 g of wood in the small gap between the door and the floor, the door stays open. Explain why a much lighter peice of wood is able to keep the door open while the heavy fails.
