To verify her suspicion that a rock specimen is hollow, a geologist weighs the specimen in air and in water. She finds that the specimen weighs twice as much in air as it does in water. The density of the solid part of the specimen is 2.49 × 103 kg/m3. What fraction of the specimen’s apparent volume is solid?
To verify her suspicion that a rock specimen is hollow, a geologist weighs the specimen in air and in water. She finds that the specimen weighs twice as much in air as it does in water. The density of the solid part of the specimen is 5.87 × 103 kg/m3. What fraction of the specimen’s apparent volume is solid?

A rock that weighs 1400 N in air has an apparent weight of 900 N when submerged in fresh water (pfw = 1000 kg/m3). Calculate: A. The volume of the rock. (5 pts) B. The buoyant force on the rock. (5 pts)
A spring is attched to the bottom of an empty swimming pool, with axis ot the spring oriented vertically. An 8.0 kg block of wood with density of d=850 kgm^-3 is fixed to the top of spring and compereeses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completley covering the block. The spring is now observed to be streched twice as much as it had been compressed. a) Determine the percentage of the block's total volume that is hollow. Ignor...
Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight. This also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 44.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is watertight). PART 1: What mass of water is displaced? (kg) PART 2: What is the volume of the bone? (m^3) PART...
body fat is r actual weight (on dry land) water... T'his allows you to calculate their volume, which in turn can be used to find their ) with their weight as measured by a scale while they are suspended under specific gravity; which yields their percent body fat: 495 specific gravity % body fat-( ) 450 On dry land, an athlete weighs 70.2 kg The same athlete, when submerged in a swimming pool and hanging from a scale has an...
QUESTION 4 a) The human femur bone breaks if compressive stress greater than 1.50 * 10 N/m2 is imposed on it. Assuming the Young's modulus for bone is 1.50 * 1010 N/m2, determine 1) the maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a cross-sectional area of 4.90 x 10-4 m2 by how much does a 0.400 m long bone shorten if this maximum force is applied compressively to the bone. (6...
A diver is located 63 m below the surface of the ocean (the density of seawater is 1.025 kg/m3). To raise a treasure chest that she discovered, the diver inflates a plastic, spherical buoy with her compressed air tanks. The radius of the buoy is inflated to 0.41 m. If the treasure has a mass of 215 kg, what is the acceleration of the buoy and the treasure chest when they are tethered together and released? The chest is 22...
