Comparison of density values determines whether an item will float or sink in water. For each of the values below, determine the

density and state whether it will float or sink in water (density = 1.00 g/mL). (a) a wooden block with sides measuring 1.53 in and a mass of 13.5 g density WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. g/mL float or sink (b) a metal paperclip which displaces 0.296 mL of water when determining the volume by difference and weights 111 mg density WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. g/mL float or sink (c) an apple which displaces 0.930 cups of water when determining the volume by difference and weighs 0.88 lb density WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. g/mL float or sink

Answer:

a) the object floats

b) the object floats

c) the object sinks

Explanation:

when an object is less dense than in the fluid in which it is immersed, it will float due to its weight and volume characteristics, so to solve this problem we must find the mass and volume of each object in order to calculate the density and compare it with that of water

a)

volumen for a cube

V=L^3

L=1.53in=0.0388m

V=0.0388 ^3=5.8691x10^-5m^3=58.69ml

density=m/v

density=13.5g/58.69ml=0.23 g/ml

The wooden block floats  because it is less dense than water

b)

m=111mg=0.111g

density=m/v

density=0.111g/0.296ml=0.375g/ml

the metal paperclip floats   because it is less dense than water

c)

V=0.93cups=220.0271ml

m=0.88lb=399.1613g

Density=m/v

density=399.1613/220.027ml=1.8141g/ml

the apple sinks   because it is  denser than water

qwelly [4]

Answer:

See explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

Iteration method is a repetitive method applied until the desired result is achieved.

Let the given equation be f(x) = 0 and the value of x to be determined. By using the Iteration method you can find the roots of the equation. To find the root of the equation first we have to write equation like below

x = pi(x)

Let x=x0 be an initial approximation of the required root α then the first approximation x1 is given by x1 = pi(x0).

Similarly for second, thrid and so on. approximation

x2 = pi(x1)

x3 = pi(x2)

x4 = pi(x3)

xn = pi(xn-1).

please go to attachment for the step by step solution.

Find the number of Btu conducted through a wall in 8 hours. The wall is 8 feet high by 24 feet long and has a total R-value of 1
dedylja [7]

Answer:

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Explanation:

given data

height h = 8ft

Δt = 8  hours

length L = 24 feet

R value = 16.2 hr⋅°F⋅ft² /Btu

inside temperature t1 = 68°F

outside temperature t2 = 16°F

to find out

number of Btu conducted

solution

we get here number of Btu conducted by this expression that s

\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} =\frac{-A}{R} (t2 -t1)     ......................1

here A is area that is = h × L = 8 × 24 = 1492 ft²

put here value we get

\frac{\Delta Q}{8} =\frac{-192}{16.2} (16-68)

solve it we get

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Determine the maximum mass of the crate so
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

293 kg

Explanation:

Let's say the tension in each cable is Tb, Tc, and Td.

First, find the length of cable AD:

r = √(2² + 2² + 1²)

r = 3

Using similar triangles:

Tdx = 2/3 Td

Tdy = 2/3 Td

Tdz = 1/3 Td

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Tb − 2/3 Td = 0

Td = 3/2 Tb

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

2/3 Td − Tc = 0

Td = 3/2 Tc

Sum of the forces in the z direction:

∑F = ma

1/3 Td − mg = 0

Td = 3mg

From the first two equations, we know Td is greater than Tb or Tc.  So we need to set Td to 8.6 kN, or 8600 N.

8600 N = 3mg

m = 8600 N / (3 × 9.8 m/s²)

m ≈ 292.5 kg

Rounded to three significant figures, the maximum mass of the crate is 293 kg.
