This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.
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 filled with water.
What is the density in grams per cubic centimeter , of a 230 -g rock that displaces 88 cm^3 of water ?
Using the density table provided in the directions or the density table in the unit's overview, find the following, to the nearest thousandth when appropriate. Remember to label units!
An ice bowl is fashioned out of one hemisphere out of another hemisphere. The bowl is carved out of ice with the “outer sphere” with a radius of 17 cm and the “inner sphere” with a radius of 11 cm. What does the bowl weigh in grams? Use the number for the volume calculation.
Ice=0.95g/cm^3

- "Hey Gary, you know we should fill airliners with Helium to reduce their weight, saving millions of gallons of fuel and possibly the planet!" Let's examine this idea a little more closely. Now, there ensued a lengthy debate about the required structure and air resistance, etc. However, my colleague suggested we wouldn't need to fill an entire airliner with Helium, just a portion of it. So, I suggested a calculation. Consider an empty 747 filled with helium, how much buoyant force would there be? We have the following information: • Mass of empty 747 = 180,000 kg. • Interior volume of 747 = 1100 m3. • Density of air (STP): PAir = 1.293 kg/m3. Density of He (STP):PHe = 0.1786 kg/m³. a) Determine the buoyant force of the He-filled aircraft as it sits on the tarmac (on the ground). The buoyant force is determined by the weight of outside fluid displaced (here air) less the weight of fluid that is in the displaced volume (here Helium).arrow_forwardWhat is the weight of a cubic meter of cork?

The results are (see image) Calculate the density of the material using the method of least squares, and the value of the correlation coefficient.
