    I'm so lost Volume and tension?

    What?? I'm Lost?? the density of water is 1g/cm^3, but it can change with temperature?? I still can figure out what to do! The ball floats because of its density compared to that of the waters.I kow that! But How do i find the tension in the string? Is it just The Density of the Ball + That Of...

    Fluid Questions I'm Really Confused

    Hey! I have been out of school sick for a week! I'm a little behind and having some trouble understanding some things. Here is a question that has me stumped. An Amusement park is planning to build a water slide, and the park owners would like to use big giant corks (p= 0.28g/cm^3) as...

    Calculating Cork Volume for Child's Water Slide Float | Fluid Questions

    Another that has me stumped in this section is: when you take your car into the shop to have it worked on, a hydraulic lift is used. The diameter of the piston lifting your car and the base it sits on have a combined mass of 12000kg. the oil used in this lift has a density of 800kg/m^3. A...

    I'm so lost Volume and tension?

    Thanks! Tension? thanks a lot people but now I'm haveing trouble finding the tension of this problem , the professor never told us how to get the tension i have been trying to find it. Would it just be the weight of the ball plus gravity? I don't know she never gave us a formula if i had the...

    I'm so lost Volume and tension?

    I would be really easy if i could find the density and if i knew what the p thing was. :confused: maybe it just me ? but I'm so lost!

    I'm so lost Volume and tension?

    But ? What is the p= 100kg/m^3 thing? what is that? How do i find the density? I don't know what the p stands for and i can't find the density without the volume, but that is what I'm trying to find.

    I'm so lost Volume and tension?

    If a ball of styrofoam ( p=100kg/m^3) is totally submerged in water. the ball has a mass of 300g. How can i find the volume? and if it is being held by a string how do i find the tension of this string? :rolleyes: I don't know where to start! I've tried using the denisty equation but i still...
