In a moment of interest in historical reenactment, you decide to repeat Archimedes’ experiment and determine the density of a candle holder. You suspend it from a spring scale and the scale reads 8.0 N. You then lower the holder into a tub of water so that it is completely submerged, the scale reads 5.0 N. a) What is the volume of the candle holder? b) What is the density of the candle holder? c) What does the scale read...

A) You, Archimedes, suspect that the king’s crown is not solid gold but is instead gold-plated lead. To test your theory, you weigh the crown, and find it to weigh 60.0 N, and to have an apparent weight of 55.2 N when it is completely submerged in water. Take the density of gold to be 19300 kg/m, the density of lead to be 11340 kg/m, and the density of water to be 1000 kg/m. Also, use g = 9.80 m/s.

You, Archimedes, suspect that the king’s crown is not solid gold but is instead gold-plated lead. To test your theory, you weigh the crown, and find it to weigh 60.0 N, and to have an apparent weight of 56.5 N when it is completely submerged in water. Take the density of gold to be 19300 kg/m, the density of lead to be 11340 kg/m, and the density of water to be 1000 kg/m. Also, use g = 9.80 m/s.

Aluminum wires exposed to air form a layer of insulating Al2O3, through which electrons have to tunnel to get through an interconnect. A simple model of electrons tunneling through an Al2O3 barrier of thickness L between two Al wires implies the following: for small fixed voltage V, the current I is Ce^(-2KL), where C and K are constants. In other words, the resistance R=V/I increases proportional to e^(2KL). Solving the Schrödinger equation gives K=sqrt(2mU/ 2 ) where m is the...

a) A mildly restored ‘Knight-Rider’ 1989 Pontiac Trans Am GTA powered by a 5.7 litre V8 can do a quarter mile S from rest in a time t of about 15 seconds. Using distance: S=a t2 /2 , force: F=ma and work: W=FS, calculate the amount of work (energy) in kJ required to do the standing quarter mile given that the mass (m) of this Trans Am is 3,500 pounds. Assume that the acceleration (a) is constant. (This is not...
