Hi!
Here's one problem.
A piece of iron(with cavities) weighs 6000 N in air AND 4000 N in water.The density of iron is 7.87 g/cc.What is the volume of cavities?
My assumption is that the weight of water displaced is equal to the buoyant force(which is right because Archimedes said so). The...
Since the astrinaut is standing on the surface, the acceleration is zero! :biggrin:
But if you meant the acceleration due to gravity,g, at the surface, there is a simple formula
Loads of gravitation formula are available on the thread 'Formulas'

Yeah k can be determined from the given data.
One more thing!
When you jump from a ht. of 1.4 m, the gravitational PE lost by you is definitely stored as PE in spring. But You are not actually falling 1.4 m but you are falling 1.4 m PLUS the distance contracted bythe spring.
In this...
Your question in the last post was an EQUATION and you needed to solve it.
This question is just an expression, not an equation.
Try to figure out now why you did not get any denominator in you previous post!
As for this question, you got it right this time. :smile:
I always wondered :confused:
When you are standing on an open area. the pressure exerted by atmosphere on your head is the total weight of the atmosphere column just above your head.Of course, divided by the area of your head.
When you are inside a closed room!
Even then the atmospheric...
I agree with Ba.
It is actually friction of the floor you are standing on that prevents you from moving.

Replace v by \omega
a by \alpha
and x by \theta
in your kinematics equations to get the rotational equations!
\omega = \omega_0 + \alpha t
\theta = \theta_0 + \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2
\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta

One more effect is the MAGNUS EFFECT.
Since you are from Holland, you would know something about cricket.
Magnus effect takes place when a fast bowler swings the ball.
