    Finding weight using Archimedes' principle

    Thank you so much! So my correct equation will be: ρ(block)V(block)=ρ(oil)0.542Vb + ρ(water)0.458Vb Thank you again! :)

    Finding weight using Archimedes' principle

    I cant.. And that was the main reason why I'm pretty sure I'm missing something. When I tried to include water into my calculations I was getting that the density of the oil is less than 1, which it does not make sense. What I assumed was that the m(block)=m(oil displaced) and the...

    Finding weight using Archimedes' principle

    A rectangular block of solid carbon (graphite) floats at the interface of two immiscible liquids. The bottom liquid is a relatively heavy lubricating oil, and the top liquid is water. Of the total block volume, 54.2% is immersed in the oil and the balance in the water. In a separate experiment...

    Does the Data Support the Proposed Reaction Mechanism?

    A chemical Reaction A-->B is carried out in a closed vessel. The following data are taken for the concentration of A, Ca (g/L), as a function of time, t(min), from the start of the reaction. A proposed reaction mechanism predicts that Ca and t should be related by the expression ln...

    How Does Binary Star Mass Affect Orbital Period Calculation?

    In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass as our Sun, and they revolve about their center of mass. The distance between them is the same as the distance between Earth and the Sun. What is their period of revolution in years? T^2=(4pi^2/GM)*r^3 I know that the mass of the sun...

    How Does Tension Direction Affect Torque in a Pulley System?

    Block 1 has mass m1 = 460g, block 2 has mass m2 = 500g, and the pulley, which is mounted on a horizontal axle with negligible friction, has radius R = 5.00cm. When released from rest, block 2 falls 75.0 cm in 5.00 s without the cord slipping on the pulley. (a) What is the magnitude of the...
