Answer:

specific gravity = 0.8

specific gravity of  solution  = 2

Explanation:

given data

rectangular block above water  = 0.400 in

rectangular block below water = 1.60 in

material floats below water = 0.800 in

solution

first we get here specific gravity of block  that is

specific gravity = block vol below ÷ total block vol × specific gravity  water   ..............1

put here value we get

specific gravity =  \frac{1.60}{1.60+0.400}  × 1

specific gravity = 0.8

and now we get here specific gravity of  solution  that is express as

specific gravity of  solution  = total block vol ÷ block vol below × specific gravity  block   ........................2

put here value we get

specific gravity of  solution  = \frac{1.60+0.400}{0.800} × 0.8

specific gravity of  solution  = 2

What is the new volume of the gas if the pressure on 350 L of oxygen
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

420 L

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

PV = P'V'.................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure, P' = Final pressure, V = Initial volume, V' = Final volume.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PV/P'.................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 720 mmHg, V = 350 L, P' = 600 mmHg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (720×350)/600

V' = 252000/600

V' = 420 L

If you pull up on a bucket with a tension force of 15 N and the bucket has a weight of 15 N, what is the net force acting on the
fredd [130]

Answer:

F = 0 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must perform a summation of forces in the direction of the vertical axis. Where the positive force is that of the tension of the upward force, while the force exerted by the weight is directed downward with a negative sign.

ΣF = 0

15 - 15 + F = 0

F = 0 [N]
