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

What are some ways in which body fat can be measured
MissTica
I only know about the Water tank which is the most accurate. You place your body in it, and weights are added I think. Somehow some measurements are gathered to get your body fat weight. Online calculators exist, as well as electronic waves that are sent int your body, the echo is recorded and analyzed.

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>​
Lilit [14]
A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
  • A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
  • When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
  • So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
  • The apron acts a protective layer.

calculate the resistance of a wire 150cm long and diameter 2.0mm constructed from an alloy of resistivity 44*10-⁸Ωm​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

R = 0.21 Ω

Explanation:

the formula:

R = r x l/A

R = (44 x 10-⁸ Ωm) x 1.5 / (π x (1 x 10-³ m)²)

R = 6.6 x 10-⁷ / 3.14 x 10-⁶

R = 0.21 Ω
