Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force =\rho\times gV

Where

\rho is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

mg=\rho\times gV+T

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26

33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346

\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}

\rho=1470.43 kgm^3

<u>Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³</u>

A large highway barrier is 1 meter wide, by 1 meter tall, by 2 meters long.
Romashka [77]

Answer:

when mass is  1×10⁴ Kg then density is 5 g/cm³.

when mass is 104 Kg then density is 5.2 × 10⁻² g/ cm³.

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

mass = 1×10⁴ Kg

volume= w ×l× h = 1×2× 1 = 2 m³

density = ?

first of all we will convert the given volume meter cube to cm³:

we know that  

2×1000000 = 2 × 10⁶ cm³

Now we will convert the mass into gram.

1 Kg = 1000 g

1×10⁴ × 1000 = 1 ×10⁷ g

Now we will put the values in the formula,

d = m/v

d = 1 ×10⁷ g / 2×10⁶ cm³

d = 0.5 × 10¹ g/cm³

   or

d = 5 g/cm³

If mas is 104 Kg:

104 × 1000 = 104000 g

d= m/v

d = 104000 g / 2×10⁶ cm³

d= 52000 ×10⁻⁶ g/ cm³

d= 5.2 × 10⁻² g/ cm³

It is logical to conclude that water cannot dissolve vegetable oil because the oil is
Gekata [30.6K]
In chemistry, there is a common note that says, "Like dissolves like".

This pertains to the concept that polar substances can dissolve only other polar substances. Also, nonpolar substances are also only able to dissolve nonpolar substances. 

Polarity of the substance depends primarily on the type of bond and the difference in electronegativity. 

Water is a polar substance while vegetable oil is not. From the concept presented above, it may be concluded that water will not be able to dissolve the vegetable oil and the assumption is logical.
