King Arthur's knights use a catapult to launch a rock from their vantage point on top of the castle wall, 14 m above the moat. The rock is launched at a speed of 27 m/s and an angle of 32degrees above the horizontal.
There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.
i) that the boulder is above ground.
ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.
iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.
The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.
All the above methods are estimating methods.
*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.
S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>
Density of water
If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.
If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.
This is what I think after correction and allthe best!
Answer:
