Difference in Magnitudes between two densities

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the difference in densities between water (0.995) and NaCl (1.0499). The user attempts to find this difference by subtracting the density of water from that of NaCl. There is confusion regarding the density of NaCl, with suggestions that it is actually over 2, indicating it might refer to a NaCl solution rather than pure NaCl. The user seeks confirmation on their approach and clarity on the density values. Accurate understanding of density is essential for solving the problem correctly.

Homework Statement



the question is to find the difference in magnitudes between the density of water which 0.995 and density of NaCl which is 1.0499



The Attempt at a Solution


when speaking about the difference, I simply minus 1.0499 from 0.995

since magnitude means distance and displacement . I found the slopes of mass and volume of my graph which gave me the densities of both solutions

just want to know if I am on the right track

Can you post the complete and correct text? It does not make too much sense as it is.
And density of NaCl is not 1.05 but something over 2. Maybe it's about a NaCl solution?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
