Answer:

the reading on the scale is 158.5 mm.

Explanation:

Given;

upper fixed point of the temperature scale, x₁ = 260 mm

lower  fixed point of the temperature scale, x₂ = 50 mm

upper temperature scale, T₁ = 212 °F

lower temperature scale, T₂ = 32 °F

thermometer reading, t = 125 °F, let the reading on the scale = x

Interpolate as follows to determine the value of "x"

\frac{X_1 - X}{X_1-X_2} = \frac{T_1-t}{T_1-T_2} \\\\\frac{260-X}{260-50} = \frac{212-125}{212-32} \\\\\frac{260 -X}{210} =\frac{87}{180} \\\\180(260-X) = 87(210)\\\\46800 -180 X = 18270 \\\\180X = 46800-18270\\\\180X = 28530\\\\X = \frac{28530}{180} \\\\X = 158.5 \ mm

Therefore, the reading on the scale is 158.5 mm.

not all objects have a volume that is measured easily. If you were to determine the mass, volume, and density of your textbook,
Maslowich

Text book: We can measure the mass of the text book easily by weighing machine, to measure the volume we need to measure the length, width, and height of the text book by the ruler, by multiplying these dimension we can get the volume of the text book, and by dividing the mass of the book with its volume we can get the density of the book.

Milk Container: We can measure the mass of the milk container easily by weighing machine, now (assuming the milk container is cylindrical in shape) we need to measure its height, and and diameter and by the formula (π*r^2*h) we can measure its volume, and and by dividing the mass  with its volume we can get the density of the milk container.

Air filled balloon: we can measure the mass of the air filled balloon by weighing it weight machine, we know that the density of air is 28.97 kg/m^3, by dividing the mass of the balloon with the denisty of air we can get the volume of the balloon.

if a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point A within the block is 0.6meter, what's the
Fittoniya [83]
The pressure exerted by a fluid solely relies on the depth or height of the fluid, its density, and the gravitational constant. These three are related in the equation:

Pressure = density x g x height

In the problem, point A is within the block inside the tank. The water above the block is assumed to be 0.6 meters. This gives a point A pressure of:

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.6 m = 5,886 Pa or 5.88KPa
