In accordance with the definition of density as r = m/V, in order to determine the density of
matter, the mass and the volume of the sample must be known.
The determination of mass can be performed directly using a weighing instrument.
The determination of volume generally cannot be performed directly. Exceptions to this rule
include
· cases where the accuracy is not required to be very high, and
· measurements performed on geometric bodies, such as cubes, cuboids or cylinders, the volume
of which can easily be determined from dimensions such as length, height and diameter.
· The volume of a liquid can be measured in a graduated cylinder or in a pipette; the volume of
solids can be determined by immersing the sample in a cylinder filled with water and then
measuring the rise in the water level.
Because of the difficulty of determining volume with precision, especially when the sample has a
highly irregular shape, a "detour" is often taken when determining the density, by making use of the
Archimedean Principle, which describes the relation between forces (or masses), volumes and
densities of solid samples immersed in liquid:
From everyday experience, everyone is familiar with the effect that an object or body appears to
be lighter than in air – just like your own body in a swimming pool.

Answer:
The correct reaction force in response to Heidi's action force is:
c. The friction is equal to 660 N since the beam is not accelerating.
Explanation:
Heidi's action force does not affect the beam. Since friction resists the sliding or rolling of one solid object over another, there is no friction acting on the beam, in this respect. The reaction force is what makes the dog to move because it acts on it. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, forces always come in action-reaction pairs. This Third Law states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. This means that the dog exerts some force on Heidi, as he pulls it "forward with a force of 9.55 N."
