If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement.

-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container. The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.

-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it. When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan. It's equal to the volume of the object.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(i) $x = 115\,cm$ , (ii) $x = 95\,cm$ , (iii) $x = 95\,cm$

Explanation:

(i) $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ represent the points where particle has a velocity of zero and spring reach maximum deformation, Given the absence of non-conservative force and by the Principle of Energy Conservation, the position where particle is at maximum speed is average of both extreme positions:

$x = 115\,cm$

(ii) Maximum accelerations is reached at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

$x = 95\,cm$

(iii) Greatest net forces exerted on the particle are reached at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ .

$x = 95\,cm$

Is the strange solid/liquid changing behavior of Oobleck the SAME as an ice cube melting?

Dmitrij [34]

I don’t think so because an ice cube melting needs heat and relies on temp while ooblecks transition from solid to quickly depends on force and speed
