In the video, the water level was 15 milliliters before adding the chain, and 20 milliliters after adding the chain. When I weighed the chain, its mass was 74.9 grams. I believe the chain is solid metal (not gold plated), but is probably a blend of gold and other metals. I looked up that gold has a density of 19.3 g/ml, while the other metals like silver and copper usually blended with gold have a combined density of about 9.7 g/ml. Determine what percentage of the chain is gold, by mass, to at least 1 decimal place?

Figure (a) below shows a U-shaped tube containing an amount of mercury. The left arm of the tube has cross-sectional area A, of 10.3 cm, and the right arm has a cross-sectional area A, of 4.10 cm. In both arms, the mercury is at the same level, as shown. In figure (b) below, 100 g of water is poured into the right arm of the tube and sits atop the mercury, all of it within the right arm. The mercury level in the right arm has been displaced downward, and the mercury level in the left arm has been displaced upward from its original level by a distance h. The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm, and the density of water is 1.00 g/cm.

You want to test whether your bar of gold is pure or not. It has a mass of 1000 g when you measured in air and 960g when totally submerged in water. Is your bar of gold pure or not? The density of pure gold is 19.3 g/cm3. If not, what is the percentage of impurities?
The mass of a lead piece is 115 g. When it is immersed into a measuring cylinder, the water level rises from 20 ml mark to 30 ml mark. Find: the density of the lead in kg m-³.
A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.7 atmospheres [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric acid, which has a density of 97 pound-mass per cubic foot [lbm/ft3]. If the tank is filled to a depth of 90 feet [ft], how much surface pressure in units of atmospheres [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the silo?
The following is a practice question for an upcoming test: At a resting pulse rate of 77 beats per minute, the human heart typically pumps about 73 mL of blood per beat. Blood has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Circulating all of the blood in the body through the heart takes about 1 min for a person at rest. On average, what mass of blood does the heart pump with each heart beat in kg? mass per heart beat:
A mixing vessel initially contains 4,158.11 lb of liquid fluid. The vessel is fitted with two inlet pipes, one delivering hot fluid at a mass flow rate of 0.616 lb/sec and the other delivering cold fluid at a mass flow rate of 0.965 lb/sec. Fluid exits through a single pipe at a mass flow rate of 1.435 lb/sec. Calculate the amount of fluid, in lb, in the tank after 40 minutes.
In the video, the water level was 15 milliliters before adding the chain, and 20 milliliters after adding the chain. When I weighed the chain, its mass was 70.6 grams. I believe the chain is solid metal (not gold plated), but is probably a blend of gold and other metals. I looked up that gold has a density of 19.3 g/ml, while the other metals like silver and copper usually blended with gold have a combined density of about 9.7 g/ml.

Janice is grilling a steak for her July 4th barbecue dinner. The steak initially weighs 300 grams and is 25 mm thick. After grilling it for a while, she considers the steak done, and measures it again: it now weighs 215 grams, and is 15 mm thick. For both the cooked and uncooked steak, she uses the thumb-test to determine the done-ness, i.e. she uses her thumb (area ~5cm2) to push down with a force of 5 N. The uncooked steak compresses by 7 mm, and the cooked steak by 2 mm. The change in elasticity of the steak on cooking is due partly to the loss of water volume (so that existing bonds get closer together) and partly to the creation of new bonds. Assume all of the difference in raw vs. cooked steak thickness is due to water loss that makes it thinner (25 mm thick in the uncooked steak, versus 15 mm thick in the cooked steak), and that the other dimensions of the steak (length and width) have not changed. By what percentage has the steak's volume decreased from the original value?…
