A container consists of two vertical cylindrical columns of different diameter connected by a narrow horizontal section, as shown in the figure. The open faces of the two columns are closed by very light plates that can move up and down without friction. The tube diameter at A is 35.0 cm and at B it is 10.2 cm. This container is filled with oil of density 0.820 g/cm3. If a 125-kg object is placed on the larger plate at A,
how much mass should be placed on the smaller plate at B to balance it?
The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. If h = 20 cm, the density of the oil in the left column of the U-tube shown below is:
0.20 g/cm3
0.90 g/cm3
1.0 g/cm3
1.3 g/cm3
5.0 g/cm3
The material that holds the world record for being the least dense solid is silica aerogel, with a density of only 1 mg/cm3. What would be the mass of a cube of silica aerogel that measured 1 m on each side?
Can you show me step by step how to do this? I know that Density=mass*volume

Which of these statements is true? If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container. When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms.arrow_forwardYou will deal with a spherical shell -- a ball, where all the mass is on the surface.
