Let ?a represent the density of aluminum and ?f that of iron. Find an expression of the radius (?a ) of a solid aluminum sphere that balances a solid iron sphere of radius ?f on an equal-arm balance.
The density of ordinary air is 1.19 g/L. What is the mass, in kilograms, of the airin a room that measures 14.5 ft x 16.5 ft x 8.0 ft?(Hint: Density is defined as d= m/v, so you need to find the volume of the roomand solve for the mass in the density equation. Make sure you do the appropriateconversions to carry out your operations. Use the correct number of significantfigures to express your answer).
The volume of a sphere is given byV=(4/3)πr^3, whereris the sphere’s radius. For solid spheres with the same density – made, for example, from the samematerial – mass is proportional to volume. The table below lists measures of deameterand mass for different steel balls. (a) Determine the quantity that, when you plot mass against it, should yield a straightline. (b) Make your plot, establish a best-fit line, and determine its slope (which in thiscase is proportional to the spheres’ density Diameter (cm) 0.75 1.0 1.56 2.16 2.54 Mass(g) 1.81 3.95 15.8 38.6 68.2

A person can lift 45 kg (100lb). Using the experimental value of the specfic gravity for the metal object in part B, how many cubic meters of the metal could the person lift (a)in the air, (b)in water? how many actual kg of metal is in air and in water?
"Painting the entire exterior surface of a cube with edge length S = 1.26 meters reduces paint level by 2 inches in a cylindrical paint can with radius R = 3.24 inches. Assuming the paint is put on with a uniform thickness, calculate this thickness in inches." Hmm... I don't think the paint can height is necessary... at least, it wasn't given in the problem. I started out by calculating the volume of the 2 inches removed from the can, and, knowing that the volume would stay the same, tried to figure out how to put the volume onto the surface of the cube. That's where I got stuck. Any ideas? Thank you!
