Given that the density of heptane is

The mass of heptane is

The density of water is

The mass of water is

The volume of heptane will be

The volume of water will be

Thus, the volume of heptane is 45.32 mL and the volume of water is 37 mL.
The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be 82.32 mL.
Magnitude of acceleration
Explanation:
We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).
Answer:
0.4
Explanation:
F-Fr=ma where F is applied force, Fr is friction, m is mass and a is acceleration.
Since the mass is moving with a constant velocity, there's no acceleration hence
where N is the weight of object and \mu is coefficient of kinetic friction.
the subject

Substituting F for 8 N and N for 20 N

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4
