<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. anemometer

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>An anemometer is an instrument that is used for measuring the speed of the wind. It is a common weather station instrument. </em></u>
<em><u>Some anemometers are designed to measure both the speed of the wind and the direction of the wind. wind direction is given from where the wind is coming from to where it is going to.</u></em>
<em><u>Wind vane on the other hand is an instrument that is used to show the direction of the wind It may be found as part of the anemometer to determine wind's direction.</u></em>

The correct answer is letter D. Anemometer. It is a device that is used to measure wind speed. It is a very common weather station instrument and is available to use and to make. Anemos, from the greek word that means wind.

A 0.200-kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerine.The gylcerine is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 3.90 c

natita [175]

Answer:

Part a)

h = 0.86 cm

Part b)

Level will increase

Explanation:

Part a)

Mass of the ice cube is 0.200 kg

Now from the buoyancy force formula we know that weight of the ice is counter balanced by buoyancy force on the ice

So here we will have

$mg = \rho V_{displaced} g$

$V_{displaced} = \frac{m}{\rho}$

$V_{displaced} = \frac{0.200}{1260} = 1.59 \times 10^{-4} m^3$

now as we know that ice will melt into water

so here volume of water that will convert due to melting of ice is given as

$V\rho_w = m_{ice}$

$V = \frac{0.200}{1000} = 2\times 10^{-4} m^3$

So here extra volume that rise in the level will be given as

$\Dleta V = V - V_{displaced}$

$\pi r^2 h = 2\times 10^{-4} - 1.59 \times 10^{-4}$

$(\pi (0.039^2) h = 0.41 \times 10^{-4}$

$h = 0.86 cm$

Part b)

Since volume of water that formed here is more than the volume that is displaced by the ice so we can say that level of liquid in the cylinder will increase due to melting of ice
