The six steps of the scientific are:
1. State the question
2. Conduct research
3. Create a hypothesis
4. Perform the experiment
5. Analyze the data
6. Conclusion
So D. would be the correct answer, even though communicating the results could possibly be a step if it's required.
Answer:
The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.
Explanation:
Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from

where
and
are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for
, we have

Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.
Answer:
A. It is always a positive force
Explanation:
Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.
i.e F = - kx
where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.
The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.
The answer is B for sure !
