A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 39.2 N. When the rock is totally immersed in water, the tension is 28.4 N. When the rock is totally immersed in an unknown liquid, the tension is 21.5 N. What is the density of the unknown liquid?

1638.89 kg/m³

Explanation:

From the question,

R.D = Upthrust of the rock in liquid/upthrust of the rock in water = Density of liquid/Density of water.

U'/U = D'/D Equation 1

Where U' = Upthrust in liquid = Weight of rock in air- weight of rock in liquid,

U = Upthrust in water = weight of rock in air - weight of rock in water, D' = Density of liquid, D = Density of water.

make D' the subject of the equation

D' = (U'/U)D Equation 2

Given: U' = 39.2-21.5 = 17.7 N, U = 39.2-28.4 = 10.8 N

Constant: D = 1000 kg/m³

Substitute these values into equation 2

D' = (17.7/10.8)1000

D' = 1638.89 kg/m³

ill do it for 100, also this isnt 80 its 40

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
