Mechanical advantage = ideal mechanical advantage x efficiency = 3.5 x 0.6 = 2.1
The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is 2.1
Use the density formula:
Mass of the substance
————————————
Volume of the substance
This gives you the density.
Corn syrup has a density of about 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter, and has the highest density of all liquids!
Hope this helps!
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.
