It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.
In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.
So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate <em>less</em> air space.
A mechanical wave must have a medium.

Answer:


Explanation:
m = Mass of proton = 
v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = 
Circumference of the colider is 7 km


Centripetal acceleration is 

Force on protons is 
Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force. The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
