How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
5 0
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

F = f from Newton’s first law.

Explanation:

since the desk is moved in a straight line at a constant speed, newton first law tell us that the two forces must be equal.

Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. since the table has been set in motion by the 400 N force, it will remain in motion unless it is been acted upon by an external force, and this means that the 400 N must be equal to the frictional force for it to have been in motion in the first instance.
