AI Thread Summary
To calculate the densities of the metal and oil, the buoyant force must be considered, which is the difference in weight of the metal in air and in water, as well as in oil. The density of the metal can be determined using its weight in air and the volume displaced in water. The density of the oil can be found using the weight of the metal in oil and the volume displaced in water. The calculations involve applying Archimedes' principle to find the respective densities. This approach provides a clear method for solving the problem presented.

"How To Solve Density of two objects" Plss Help.

If you can answer this, your a genius... I really need the answer. Hehehe. Ok this is the question.

A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N (Newton) in air, 36.0 N in H20 (water) and 41.0 N in oil. Find the densities of the metal and the oil.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
