Atwo-resistor voltage divider employing a 2-k? and a 3-k? resistor is connected to a 5-v ground-referenced power supply to provide a 2-v voltage. sketch the circuit. assuming exact-valued resistors, what output voltage (measured to ground) and equivalent output resistance result? if the resistors used are not ideal but have a ±5% manufacturing tolerance, what are the extreme output voltages and resistances that can result?

circuit sketched in first attached image.

Second attached image is for calculating the equivalent output resistance

Explanation:

For calculating the output voltage with regarding the first image.

For the calculus of the equivalent output resistance we apply thevenin, the voltage source is short and current sources are open circuit, resulting in the second image.

so.

Taking into account the %5 tolerance, with the minimal bound for Voltage and resistance.  

if the -5% is applied to both resistors the Voltage is still 5V because the quotient  has 5% / 5% so it cancels. to be more logic it applies the 5% just to one resistor, the resistor in this case we choose 2k but the essential is to show that the resistors usually don't have the same value. applying to the 2k resistor we have:

so.

answer: the rock sample is a sedimentary rock.

explanation:

it is given that:

mass of rock sample, m = 2.7 g

volume of rock sample,

so, density of rock sample will be

since, the density of rock sample is . hence, the rock sample is a sedimentary rock, whose densities varies between .

0.11 m/s and 0.28 m/s should be correct
