The radius of the cone is proportional to the square of the distance from its tip. The resistance R of the material to penetration depends on the cross-sectional area of the penetrating object and thus is proportional to the fourth power of the cone penetration distance x, or R = kx4. If the cone comes to rest at a distance x = 28 mm, determine the constant k in terms of the test conditions and results. Utilize a single application of the work-energy equation.arrow_forward

The density of the solid material used to create 11 pieces of 1.39 cm diameter and 0.65 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 2.24 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 40 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 51.96 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 26%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution.arrow_forward
