Question
Chapter 1, Problem 91FP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The method of determining the composition of the crown without damaging it by Archimedes needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is mathematically represented as follows:
Here, m is mass and V is volume.
If an object is placed on a liquid surface and its density is less than the liquid, it will float on the surface of the liquid but if the density of the object is more than it will sink in the liquid.

But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough that airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Boeing 747, which can carry 400 passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, 70.7m long, 6.5m wide, and 2.5mm thick (see sketch at right). Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density 7.87/gcm3) instead of aluminum (density 2.70/gcm3), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of 81kg. We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel.arrow_forward
