AI Thread Summary
Archimedes resolved the problem of the crown by determining its density through water displacement, confirming whether it was made of pure gold. The discussion also touches on the connection between this method and other fluid-related problems, although the oil and water question is not directly related. One participant expressed frustration over not being able to solve the oil/water problem, which is crucial for their class grade. The conversation highlights the challenges of understanding fluid dynamics in practical applications. Overall, the thread emphasizes the significance of Archimedes' principles in solving real-world problems.

oh, I saw a documentary on that. I think he dipped the crown in water, and found out depending on the water level, the density of the gold? This is related to your other post isn't it, the oil water question? What is it with all these fluid problems?

Thanks for your help!
I "googled the topic and found what i was looking for!
No it's not related to the other problem, but it is in the same
chapter.
I couldn't resolve the oil/water problem i really needed it so i could have
40 points in my class which could help me get a C or B..
But what can i do!
Here is what I tried
This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances.
The answer was 1D.
My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.
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...
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears.
My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it.
I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height.
But the...
