Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight is given below.
Explanation:
Measure unstretched length of spring, L. E.g. L = 0.60m.
Set mass to a convenient value (e.g. m = 0.5kg).
Hang mass.
Measure new spring length, L'. E.g. L' = 0.70m.
Calculate extension: e = L' - L = 0.70 – 0.60 = 0.10m
Use mg = ke (in equilibrium weight = tension)
k = mg/e
Don't know what value you are using for example. Suppose it is 10N/kg (same thing as 10m/s²).
k = 0.5*10/0.10 = 50 N/m
Repeat for a few different masses. (L always stays the same.)
Take the average of your k values.
Answer:
Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of water = 35 g
Mass of filled bottle with water = 98.44 g
Mass of filled bottle with fluid = 89.22 g
Computation:
Mass of water = 98.44g - 35g = 63.44g
Density of water = 1000 g/L
Volume of bottle = 63.44/1000 = 0.06344L
Mass of other liquid = 89.22g - 35g = 54.22g
Density of other liquid = 54.22g/0.06344L = 854.665826 g/L
Water has a specific gravity = 1
So , specific gravity of other fluid
1000 / 854.665826 = 1 / specific gravity of other fluid
Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)
An oven mitt is used to take the tray out of the oven because it’s an insulator.
In determining the number of significant figures in a
given number, there are three rules to always remember / follow:
First: All integers except
zero are always significant.
<span>Second: Any zeros located between
non zeroes are always significant.</span>
Third: A zero located
after a non zero in a decimal is always significant whether it is before or
after the decimal
Therefore using this rule,
the number of significant digits in the given numbers are:
(a) 214 = 3
(b) 81.60 = 4
(c) 7.03 = 3
(d) 0.03 = 1
(e) 0.0086 = 2
(f) 3236 = 4
(g) 8700 = 2
