Chapter 6, Problem 67GP
A geologist searching for oil finds that the gravity at a certain location is 2 parts in 107 smaller than average. Assume that a deposit of oil is located 2000 m directly below. Estimate the size of the deposit, assumed spherical. Take the density (mass per unit volume) of rock to be 3000 kg/m3 and that of oil to be 800 kg/m3.

A thick-hollow spherical shell made of aluminum (=70 g/cm3) weighs 64.1 N. If the inner diameter of the hollow sphere is ¾ of the outer diameter, (a) what is the diameter of the hollow space inside the sphere? (b) If instead the hollow sphere is made of brass (=8.60 g/cm3), by how much percent would the outer radius of the brass sphere be smaller compared to the aluminum sphere?
As an astute observer walking around on continental crust (granite), you might decide to test the hypothesis
that the Earth is made entirely of granite. You weigh a 1.00 cubic ft piece of granite on your home scale and find
that it weighs 171 lbs. Thus, you determine that the granite has a density of 171 lb/ft. Convert your granite's
density to g/cm.
Surely upvote you.
