                                       Density = (mass) / (volume)

                                4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by  0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

                                 mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                           = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                           = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                           =   3,528 newtons . 

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it.  It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity.  That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water.  Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water.  The weight
of that water is  (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

       (3,528  -  882) = 2,646 newtons  (about 595.2 pounds) .

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water".  The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.

Christian made some pancakes she's so 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon is she had 300 pancak
DiKsa [7]

Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Explanation:

Let us represent the total amount of Pancake made by Christian as = K

    From the problem;

 Christian ate \frac{3}{5} of the pancake in the morning =  \frac{3}{5}  * K =  \frac{3}{5} K

We know that Christian cannot eat her pancake and at the same time have it, the  remaining pancake will then be:

        total amount of cake - fraction eaten

Remainder = K -  \frac{3}{5} K=  \frac{2}{5} K

   

In the afternoon, we know that she ate 1/4 of the remaining cake:

        \frac{1}{5} K*  \frac{2}{5} K = \frac{1}{10} K

 The remaining cake in the afternoon will be:

    Total amount of cake remaining from morning - amount eaten in the afternoon

    =    \frac{2}{5} K -  \frac{1}{10} K

    =    \frac{3}{10} K

The fraction of the cake remaining in the afternoon is  \frac{3}{10} K

Since she had 300cakes left in the afternoon, then :

            \frac{3}{10} K= 300

                    K = 1000 pancakes

Therefore Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Tamiku [17]
The control setup in this experiment would be one tank that does not contain any of the additives. Since the tanks with the gasoline additives would need to be compared with a tank that is not affected by the results of these additives.
