To change my friends mind, after they've already said weather predictions are just guesses, I would say they are correct, but not only to they use guesses to predict what will happen, but they also, before hand, use atmospheric tools. They then predict from the data collected. They do both.
March 20 and September 22
Answer:
i 5.3 cm ii. 72 cm
Explanation:
i
We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced
To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So
ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g
ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?
V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³
So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block
= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm
ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g
ii
ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?
V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ = 7200 cm³
So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block
= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm
The answer is always true a
