QUESTION 9 Imagine a block with density 1.3 g/cm³ was dropped in to the beaker, where would the block rest. $\rho_{oil}$=0.930 g/cm³ $\rho_{water}$=1 g/cm³ $\rho_{Mercury}$=13.6 g/cm³ At the bottom of the beaker Between the water and mercury Between oil and water On top

5. Mercury is a liquid with density of 13.6 g/mL. If you place 3 metal blocks made of silver (density = 10.5 g/cm3), gold (density = 19.3 g/cm3), and iron (density = 7.87 g/cm3) in a beaker of liquid Mercury, what will happen? Will the blocks float, submerge or sink? Explain your answer.

3. A solid cylinder (radius = 13.0 cm, height = 17.5 cm) has a mass of 7.90 kg. This cylinder is floating in water. Then oil (density = 725 kg/m³) is poured on top of the water until the situation shown in the drawing results. How much of the volume of the cylinder is in the oil? m³ Oil Water

In a sample of seawater taken from an oil spill, an oil layer 4.0 cm thick floats on 55 cm of water. If the density of the oil is 0.75 x 103 kg/m3, what is the absolute pres-sure on the bottom of the container?
