Density of Solids

The density of a substance refers to how much matter is present in a given amount of space. It is expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to its volume.

Question

at sea level. If the clock is taken
to the top of a nearby mountain,
(a) would you expect it to keep
correct time, run slow, or run
fast? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:

The extra gravity from the mountain causes the period to decrease

Parcels of air (small volumes of air) in a stable atmosphere (where the temperature increases with height) can oscillate up and down, due to the restoring force provided by the buoyancy of the air parcel. The frequency of the oscillations are a measure of the stability of the atmosphere. Assuming that the acceleration of an air parcel can be modeled as 2zt2=g(z)0zz , prove that z=z0etN2 is a solution, where N is known as the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Note that in a stable atmosphere, the density decreases with height and parcel oscillates up and down.
Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them to the greedy at prices much below gold value but deservedly far above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
How much energy must the shock absorbers of a 1200-kg car dissipate in order to damp a bounce that initially has a velocity of 0.800 m/s at the equilibrium position? Assume the car returns to its original vertical position.
A mass m0is attached to a spring and hung vertically. The mass is raised a short distance in the vertical direction and released. The mass oscillates with a frequency f0. If the mass is replaced with a mass nine times as large, and the experiment was repeated, what would be the frequency of the oscillations in terms of f0?
A pendulum clock works by measuring the period of a pendulum. In the springtime the clock runs with perfect time, but in the summer and winter the length of the pendulum changes. When most materials are heated, they expand. Does the clock run too fast or too slow in the summer? What about the winter?

The highest natural atmospheric temperature ever recorded on Earth was 58oC (136oF), at El Azizia, Libya on September 13, 1922. The record low temperature was -89oC (-129oF), which occurred at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983. What is the difference in the speed of sound in air for these two extreme temperatures? answer in m/s.
