The relative density of oak wood is 0.64 .find the density in the cgs system

1 answer:

6 0

Relative density is defined as:
dr = ds / dw
where:
dr: relative density
ds: density of the substance.
dw: density of water.
In this case we have the relative density of oak wood:
dr = 0.64.
We want to find the density of the substance: ds
Therefore we need to know the density of water in the cgs unit system:
dw = 1g / c ^ 3
Finally:
ds = dr * dw
ds = 0.64 * 1 g / cm ^ 3
ds = 0.64 g / c ^ 3
The density of the oak wood in cgs is 0.64 g / cm ^ 3

Calculate the location xcm of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. Use a coordinate system in which the center of the Ea

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon ( $m_{E}$ , $m_{M}$ ) are $5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg$ , respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

$\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}$

If $x_{E} = 0\,km$ and $x_{M} = 384,403\,km$ , then:

$\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}$
