QUESTION:

Problem 27P

(II) What is the likely identity of a metal (see Table 10-1) if a sample has a mass of 63.5 g when measured in air and an apparent mass of 55.4 g when submerged in water?

ANSWER:

Solution 22P:

        We are trying to find the density of the metal by submerging it completely in water.

Step 1 of 4

Concept:

        Density of a body is defined as the ratio of the mass of the body to its volume Mathematically,

                                                                 …(1)

        Archimedes Principle: Volume of water displaced by the body, is equal to the volume of the immersed part of the body in water.

The factor y in the Doppler formula (15.64), which can be ascribed to time dilation, means that even when 0 = 90 there is a Doppler shift. (In classical physics there is no Doppler shift when 6 = 90 and the source has zero velocity in the direction of the observer.) This transverse Doppler shift is t
