Why does buoyant force add to scale reading, not tension?
my solution: a) F(upward)=Fb +Fw =(1.3+1.5)X9.8 =27.44N total Mass = 2.8kg b) Volume increased = π(0.2/2)^2 x 1.5/100 =4.7x10-4 m^3 T+Fb =mg T=mg-Fb T=2.2x9.8 -1000 x 4.7x10-4 x 9.8 T=17.4N T is the apparent weight of the rock, so the mass of the rock in the water...- TkoT

Why does adding an external force change the spring compression distance?
thank you for your reply. for the second turning point, is it because of the external force so it is two times larger? if not external force, is the second turning point equal to the first one? i attached the answer- TkoT

Why does adding an external force change the spring compression distance?
For the first part, the mass sits at rest on the spring, so it is at the equilibrium position and thus mg = kd So, d = mg/k For the second part, I assume the uncompressed spring position is 0. When the mass at rest at the top. Its KE and PE is 0. When the mass at distance D, the question said...- TkoT

Undergrad Rocket Thrust: Power Your Launch Into Space
typo,why do the exhaust velocity relative to the rocket u=v+deltav-U? should be "v" not "u". i get the information from this website: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/rocket.html#c1 thank u for your reply
