4] a student has a large number of coins of different diameters , all made of the same metal. she wishes to find the density of the metal by a method involving placing the coin in water. a] state the formula needed to calculate the density. b] describe how the measurements of the required quantities are carried out. c] state one precaution taken when carrying out the measurements in [b] to ensure that the result is as accurate as possible. 5] a student wishes to determine the density of a small, irregularly shaped stone. a] with the aid of a labelled diagram, describe an experiment to determine the volume of the stone. b] state the other quantity, apart from the volume, that must be measured in order to determine the density. [ii] state the formula that is used to calculate the density. c] the student now wishes to determine the volume of a small, irregularly shaped piece of wood that floats in water. he notices that a small lead weight tied to the wood makes it sink in water. describe how the student can adapt the experiment in [a] to determine the volume of the wood. you may draw a diagram. 6b] the density of aluminium is 2.70g/cubic meter. the thickness of a rectangular sheet of aluminium foil varies, but is much less than 1mm. a sheet wishes to find the average thickness. she obtains the following measurements. mass of sheet= 60.7g length of sheet=50.0 cm width of sheet=30.0 cm calculate the students values for; [i] the volume of the sheet. [ii] the average thickness of the sheet. c] another student, provided with a means of cutting the sheet , decides to find it's average thickness using a single measuring instrument . assume the surfaces of the sheet are perfectly smooth. [i] name a measuring instrument she could use. [ii] describe the procedure she should follow to obtain an accurate value of the average thickness of the sheet. details of how to read the instrument are not required. 7]the tank is 51m long and 20m wide. the sea-water in the tank is 11m deep and has a density of 1030kg/cubic meter. a] calculate the mass of water in the tank. b] the pressure at point M, halfway down the large viewing panel, is 60kpa more than atmospheric pressure. calculate the depth of M below the surface of the water. c] the viewing panel is 32.8m wide and 8.3m high. calculate the outward force of the water on the panel. assume that the pressure at M is the average pressure on the whole panel.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. at one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m/s, it then flies a further distance of 40100 m and afterwards its velocity is 47.5 m/s. find the airplane\'s acceleration and calculate how much time elapses while the airplane covers those 40100 m.

Aparticle of mass m is projected with an initial velocity v0 in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal level ground as shown in the figure. the motion of the particle occurs under a uniform gravitational field g pointing downward. (a) write down the lagrangian of the system by using the cartesian coordinates (x, y). (b) is there any cyclic coordinate(s). if so, interpret it (them) physically. (c) find the euler-lagrange equations. find at least one constant of motion. (d) solve the differential equation in part (c) and obtain x and y coordinates of the projectile as a function of time. (e) construct the hamiltonian of the system, h, and write down the hamilton’s equations (canonical equations) of motion.
