Answer:

i 5.3 cm ii. 72 cm

Explanation:

i

We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced

To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?

V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³

So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block

= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ii

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?

V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ =  7200 cm³

So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block

= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm

Explain what the star looks like to Jane
S_A_V [24]
The star looks like a desirable hunk of masculinity to Jane. But to John, the star looks like a wimpy momma's boy who might compete with him for Jane's attention. Jane and John have different impressions of the star because of their gender-specific instincts that have evolved during thousands of millenia of human evolution.
