Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of puregold. According to legend, he so

lved this problem by weighing the crown first in air and then in water. Suppose the scale read 7.84 N with the crown in air and 6.84 N when it was in water. What should Archimedes have told the king

Answer:

the crown was not made of pure gold

Explanation:

Mass of gold = weight in air/ g = 7.84N/10ms-2= 0.784 Kg or 0.8Kg

From Archimedes principle:

Upthrust= weight in air- weight in a fluid

Upthrust= volume × density × g

Note density of water = 1000kgm-3

7.84-6.84= V × 1000kgm-3×10ms-2

V= 1/10000= 1×10-4 m^3

Density = mass/ volume= 0.8/1×10-4

= 8×10^3 Kgm-3

But we know the density of gold to be 19.3 ×10^3 kgm-3

Hence the crown was not made of pure gold

nadya68 [22]

The only three countries who do not use the metric system as their primary system of measurement are the United States, Liberia and Burma (Myanmar). Other countries have adopted the system but do not use it in all cases, for example road distances and speeds are still measured in miles and miles per hour in the United Kingdom.

You drop a 30 g pebble down a well. You hear a splash 2.7 s later. What was the pebble’s speed just as it reaches the water? Ass
Flauer [41]

vf=vi+at

No need for rearranging because it is already set up for Vf (final velocity)

a= -9.8m/s² (because it is falling)

vi= 0

t= 2.7

0 + -9.8(2.7) = vf

vf = -26.5 (-26.46)
