    Object Weight given only difference in weights in and out of water

    OHH,... so what you are saying is that I use previously acquired volume of .00398 in this eq. I am sorry if I am frustrating. I mean well! OH no... do I convert 7.84 g/cm^3 to kg/m^3 ?? if so 7.84 g/cm^3 (100cm*100cm*100cm) * 1kg = 7840 kg/m^3...

    Object Weight given only difference in weights in and out of water

    ok, a little hazy. Fw(water) is 39N=dens water*v*g? than V = .00398 if so, Fw(water)-39N=Fw (air) than Fw(air) is /38.96??

    Pendulum gravity on X planet ratio

    I used L 10 on Earth and planet X and got T = 6.34 on earth, then doubled it and solved for X grav and got 2.4525 resulting in 2.587:1 which isn't right. i did the same thing with L 50 on Earth and got a different ratio... ehhhkkk!

    Flow and Flow Rate: Determine Rate & Pressure Change

    hi, this is very confusing. the question is A horizontal water main with a cross-sectional area of 220 cm2 necks down to a pipe of area 55 cm2. Meters mounted in the flow on each side of the transition coupling show a change in gauge pressure of 85 kPa. Determine the flow rate...
