Answer:

By minimizing the height of the body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy

Explanation:

In hydrostatics, the equilibrium state of a floating body relates to either a maximum or minimum of the potential energy.An equilibrium is stable when the potential energy is minimum.Minimizing the height of the floating body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy attains a stable equilibrium configuration.

What is the mass of 7 x 10^28 atoms of Fe?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

6 x 10⁶ g Fe

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up dimensional analysis

7 x 10²⁸ atoms Fe (1 mol Fe/6.02 x 10²³ atoms Fe)(55.85 g Fe/1 mol Fe)

Step 2: Multiply, divide, and cancel out units

atoms Fe and atoms Fe cancel out.

mol Fe and mol Fe cancel out.

We should be left with g Fe.

7 x 10²⁸/6.02 x 10²³ = 116279 mol Fe

116279(55.85) = 6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe

Step 3: Sig figs

There is only 1 sig fig in this problem.

6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe ≈ 6 x 10⁶ g Fe
