How can I determine the shape of an oldie acid molecule?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the shape of an oldie acid molecule, the user has successfully calculated the volume and dimensions for parts A and B but is struggling with parts C and D. For part C, they are unsure how to apply the volume of a cuboid formula to find the dimensions of the molecule. In part D, they converted the density to g/cm³ and calculated the mass using the previously determined volume. The user seeks guidance on how to approach parts C and D effectively. Understanding the molecular orientation in relation to water is also a consideration in the discussion.

Finding dimension of molecule and avagadros constant
Relevant Equations
Na = N/n
v = lwh
I have done all of the questions apart from c and d. For a I got the answer 2.58*10^_5 cm^3
B) 3.72*10^-7 cm
But for c I don’t really know how to start. I first thought of using the formula for volume of cuboid but don’t know how that’d give the answer for the dimension.
For D, I turned the density from 890 kg m^-3 to 0.89 g cm^-3, found the molecular mass to be 282 and from my previous question used the volume v = 2.58*10^-5 to get mass = 2.2962*10^-5g from the formula p =m/v.
I’d just like to know how to do c and d, thanks for your help

Consider one molecule. How is it oriented on the water? Where are other molecules in relation to it?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
