C. A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density (in g/cm?) of a 200 g rock that displaces 81.0 cm³ of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on
Archimedes' principle.)

- Local authorities of Ankara built a basin as cylindrical tank with an upper diameter D1 = 1500m, lower diameter D2 = 750m and height H = 25m, in Ankara as shown in the figure. Nowadays we face out drought periods, the water height in the basin is at the level of 9 m. This value should not fall below 5 m (critical point). Regional officials estimate that the consumption rate in the city is 71620 m / day from the pipe with 2 m in diameter, and the water inlet flow rate from various source (rainfall, current) to the basin will be 150000 m3/ day.
