Using the principle of floatation.
u = w............(a)
Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.
Let the volume of the wood be V.
The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V
Formula for upthrust, u = vdg
where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
From (a)
u = w
vdg = mg Cancel out g
vd = m
The v is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.
d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³
0.2V * 1000 = m
200V = m
Hence the mass of the object is 200V kg.
But Density of solid = Mass of solid / Volume of solid
= 200V / V
= 200 kg/m³
Density of solid = 200 kg/m³
Easy !
Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.
The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.
Pluck any string. Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.
Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.
-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.
-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.
Yes,and because not everyone can wink and often that someone can only wink with one eye only
