What happens when two forces act in the same direction?

On a day when the barometer reads 75.23 cm, a reaction vessel holds 250 ml of ideal gas at 20 celsius. an oil manometer ( ρ= 810 kg/m^3) reads the pressure in the vessel to be 41 cm of oil and below atmospheric pressure. what volume will the gas occupy under s.t.p.?

An air-filled capacitor is formed from two long conducting cylindrical shells that are coaxial and have radii of 26 mm and 103 mm. the electric potential of the inner conductor with respect to the outer conductor is - 700 v (k = 1/4πε 0 = 8.99 × 109 n · m2/c2) the energy stored in a 1.0-m length of this capacitor is closest to

Does current flow through or across a resistor?
