Chapter 13, Problem 91GP

A simple model (Fig. 13-57) considers a continent as a block (density ≈ 2800 kg/m³) floating in the mantle rock around it (density ≈ 3300 kg/m³). Assuming the continent is 35 km thick (the average thickness of the Earth’s continental crust), estimate the height of the continent above the surrounding rock.

A simple model (Fig. 10–56) considers a continent as a block (density = 2800 kg/m³) floating in the mantle rock around it (density = 3300 kg/m³). Assuming the continent is 35 km thick (the average thickness of the Earth's conti- nental crust), estimate the height of the continent above the surrounding mantle rock. Continent (density = 2800 kg/m³) Img Mantle rock (density = 3300 kg/m³) FIGURE 10-56 Problem 84.

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold, with a mass of 27.63 g, is pressed into a leaf of 1.000 mm thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.500 mm, what is the length of the fiber?

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 8.00 mmhow many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm^ 3 (Assume that the wire is a cylinder whose volume is V = pi * r ^ 2 * h where r is its radius and h is its height or length.
