an 11-m^3 rigid tank of air is separated by a thin membrane into side A with a volume of 6m^3 and side B with an initial 2.4 kg/m^3. The membrane is broken and the resulting density of the mixture is 1.82 kg/m^3. Find the initial density of air inside A in kg/m^3.
Added by Jason Y.
Step 1
The initial total mass of air in the tank is the sum of the mass of air in side A and side B. We know the volume of side A (6 m^3) and we need to find the initial density of air inside A (let's denote it as ρ_A). So, the mass of air in side A is ρ_A * volume Show more…

Compressed air with mass $8.8 \mathrm{kg}$ is stored in a $0.050-\mathrm{m}^{3}$ cylinder. (a) What's the density of the compressed air? (b) What volume would the same gas occupy at a typical atmospheric density of $1.2 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} ?$
Compressed air with mass $9.8 \mathrm{~kg}$ is stored in a $0.041-\mathrm{m}^{3}$ cylinder. (a) What's the density of the compressed air? (b) What volume would the same gas occupy at a typical atmospheric density of $1.2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ ?
An iron sphere (density of iron is 7800Kg/m^3) weighs 1560 N in air and 1340N in fresh water. A gas bubble is trapped inside the sphere. Find the volume of the gas bubble. The mass of the gas is negligible. 0.002 m^3 0.0204 m^3 0.159 m^3 0.314 m^3
