Question

8. A rock sample has a mass of 55.0 grams when measured in air, and a mass of 42.0 grams when measured while submerged in water. a. Determine the volume and density of the rock sample. b. The rock sample has a mass of 52.0 grams when submerged in an unknown fluid. What is the density of the fluid? 9. Two uniform metal bars are attached at a right angle, and hinged to the wall. A mass m = 3.50kg is attached to the end of the upper bar. The force F is holding the right angle and the mass in equilibrium. Calculate the force F, $R_x$, and $R_y$ if the upper bar has a mass of 2.50kg, and the lower bar has a mass of 2.30kg.

Step 1

To determine the volume of the rock, we can use the principle of buoyancy. The difference in mass between the rock in air and the rock submerged in water represents the mass of the water displaced by the rock. The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume Show more…
