Discuss how you might measure the bulk modulus of a liquid.

What trigonometric identity may be used to summarize an equation for calculating tension force (the long equation you'll use before replacing the values)? What do you think the role of mass is in determining the net acceleration of an item rolling down an incline? Friction is a significant factor. Why is the normal force no longer equal to the weight of all things on an incline?

A tentative rule was given about tipping in Testing Experiment Table 8.4, where if a vertical line passing through the object's center of mass is within the object's area of support the object does not tip. According to the rule, the full box of crackers in the following experiment, which has a width of 13 cm and a height of 20 cm, was seen to tip at an angle of: θc=tan−1(13 cm/20 cm)=33∘θ According to the rule, at what angle will a box with the left half filled with crackers begin to tip? Assume the box is light-weight and that the contents remain in the configuration in
