AI Thread Summary
To calculate the density of the stone, first determine the mass and volume. The mass of the stone is given as 120 g. The volume of the stone can be found using the increase in water level in the overflow container, which is 10 cm³. Using the density formula d = m/v, the density can be calculated as 120 g divided by 10 cm³, resulting in a density of 12 g/cm³. Understanding the relationship between mass, volume, and density is crucial for solving similar problems.

A overflow container that its overflow level is $100$ $cm^3$ has $80$ $cm^3$ water. When a stone that is $120$ $g$ is being dropped into the overflow container, the water increases $10$ $cm^3$.

How to find the density?

I currently don't have any idea about it.

What are the units of density?
 
What equation relates volume, mass and density?
 
I just noticed you deleted the template. Please don't do that. It is there for a reason.

That's all are d = m/v but I don't know how to apply it.

In this specific problem, what is m equal to?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
