To graph the coefficient of static friction (Mu) for different shoes on various surfaces, the x-axis should represent the surface type, while the y-axis should indicate the coefficient of static friction. Each shoe can be represented as a labeled dot on the graph, allowing for easy comparison. This format effectively visualizes the relationship between shoe types and their frictional performance on different surfaces. The clarity of this graph will enhance the lab report by providing a straightforward visual representation of the data. Selecting this graph type will help convey the findings effectively.

I have to calculate Mu for the force of static friction of different shoes of different surfaces, which I was able to do. Then, our teacher said to include graphs in our lab report, however I'm not sure which graph to use. What would the axis' be and what kind of graphs should be used?

I can't really tell how the experiment was performed from the given information.
Maybe you could use surface type for the x-axis and the coefficient of static friction for the y-axis.
Then each type of shoe would be just a labeled dot on the graph.
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
