You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b

ath of mercury (a metal that is liquid at room temperature). Block A is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 1 cm high and has a mass of 630 g. Block B is 5 cm long, 5 cm wide, 3 cm high, and has a mass of 604 g. If mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm3, which of the two blocks will float when placed in mercury?

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.

You should check your battery ___________.
podryga [215]

One should check the battery every week.

A battery if not maintained properly can cause it to die earlier or get damaged. The reasons why should the battery be checked regularly is that due to improper management of the battery and also the weather conditions, the battery usually gets corroded easily and the battery won't be able to work properly.

The connections must be checked properly so that the battery gets charged properly and should not die while driving.
