    Find New Density of Heated Cube

    Well i found the new volume first using Change V/V= linear expansion coeffecient(change tmp)... orginal v =125cm3...Delta V/125=17x10^-6 x 50... Change V=.31875 so the new volume is 125.31875cm^3... but I don't know how to find the new density..d=m/v... would mass not change even though the...

    Calculating Hydrostatic Blood Pressure in Different Body Positions

    The calculation i did above was for when he was standing upright.. when he is upside down the pressure in the brain should be greater than that of the presure in the feet.

    Calculating Hydrostatic Blood Pressure in Different Body Positions

    We did the solution for the same height, when standing upright in class. We always to the distance to be from the heart..im just not sure how to approach when he's upside down.

    Calculating Pressure at Different Altitudes and Depths

    Homework Statement A mountaineer in the Rockies measures the air pressure to be 10% below that at sea level. At what height above sea level does he make the measurement? At this altitude he finds a small mountain lake of fresh water which is 4.3m deep at its deepest point. What is the...

    Calculate Weight of 3m^3 Ichthyosaurus in Metric Tonnes

    Soo. 1m^3=1025 kg 3m^3=1025 x 3=3075kg 1kg=0.001metric tonns 3075 x 0.001 =3.075 metric tonnes its really that simple? haha

    Calculate Weight of 3m^3 Ichthyosaurus in Metric Tonnes

    Homework Statement Fossilized ichthyosaurus remains enable us to estimate their volume. If we assume that a 3m^3 icthyosaurus was "wightless" when it swam under water. What was its weight in metric tonnes? plugging this into the equation would give me B .. not weight...
