Answer:
specific gravity = 0.8
specific gravity of solution = 2
Explanation:
given data
rectangular block above water = 0.400 in
rectangular block below water = 1.60 in
material floats below water = 0.800 in
solution
first we get here specific gravity of block that is
specific gravity = block vol below ÷ total block vol × specific gravity water ..............1
put here value we get
specific gravity =
× 1
specific gravity = 0.8
and now we get here specific gravity of solution that is express as
specific gravity of solution = total block vol ÷ block vol below × specific gravity block ........................2
put here value we get
specific gravity of solution =
× 0.8
specific gravity of solution = 2
Answer:
The mother has to sit 2.17 ft from the center on the other side of the seesaw.
Explanation:
We are trying to find the sum of torques given by the weights of mother and daughter to be zero.
If the torque of the daughter on one side of the pivoting point is given by:
5.5 ft x 63.5 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb
we need that the absolute value of the torque exerted by the mom (160.9 lb) to be the same in magnitude (and of course opposite direction). So we assume that "d" is the distance at which the mother locates to make this torque equal in magnitude to her daughter's torque:
d x 160.9 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb
d = 2.17 ft
