Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 42P

(III) If an object floats in water, its density can be determined by tying a sinker to it so that both the object and the sinker are submerged. Show that the specific gravity is given by w / ( w 1 − w 2 ) , where w is the weight of the object alone in air, w₁ is the apparent weight when a sinker is tied to it and the sinker only is submerged, and w₂ is the apparent weight when both the object and the sinker are submerged.

Students have asked these similar questions

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
