Consider an object that sinks to the bottom of a beaker of liquid. The object is a block with a weight of 20 N, when weighed in air. The beaker it is to be placed in contains some water, as well as a waterproof scale that rests on the bottom of the beaker. This scale is tared to read zero, and let's assume the scale is unaffected by any changes in the level of the water above it. The beaker itself rests on a second scale that reads 50 N, the combined weight of the beaker, the water, and the scale inside the beaker. When the 20-N block is placed in the beaker, it sinks to the bottom and comes to rest on the scale in the beaker, which now reads 5.0 N. This is known as the apparent weight of the block. Let's assume g = 10 m/s2 to simplify the calculations. What is the block's density? Select one: O a. 1200 kg/m3 O b. 1320 kg/m3 O c. 1330 kg/m3 d. 1400 kg/m3

Question

Consider an object that sinks to the bottom of a beaker of liquid. The object is a block with a weight of 20 N, when weighed in air. The beaker it is to be placed in
contains some water, as well as a waterproof scale that rests on the bottom of the beaker. This scale is tared to read zero, and let's assume the scale is unaffected by
any changes in the level of the water above it. The beaker itself rests on a second scale that reads 50 N, the combined weight of the beaker, the water, and the scale
inside the beaker. When the 20-N block is placed in the beaker, it sinks to the bottom and comes to rest on the scale in the beaker, which now reads 5.0 N. This is
known as the apparent weight of the block. Let's assume g = 10 m/s2 to simplify the calculations. What is the block's density?
Select one:
O a. 1200 kg/m3
O b. 1320 kg/m3
O c. 1330 kg/m3
O d. 1400 kg/m3

A passenger is standing on a scale in an elevator. The building has a height of 500 feet, the passenger has a mass of 80 kg, and the scale has a mass of 7 kg. The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale.Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal). NS→P: The force of the scale pushing up on the passenger (normal). NO→S: The force of the elevator pushing up on the scale (normal).
