Question
(1) The specific gravity of a urine sample is found to be 1.110 at a temperature of 24C. The specific gravity of this urine was determined with a urinometer. What is the corrected specific gravity value of this sample?
(2) We've learned that urinometers are usually calibrated at 15 C and that we have to correct for samples that are above or below this temperature. This is because the density of a liquid changes with temperature. Using the density formula, explain why temperature affects the density of a liquid. Explain what happens to the density of a liquid as the temperature is raised and lowered.

The steak initially weighs 300 grams and is 25 mm thick. After grilling it for a while, she considers the steak done, and measures it again: it now weighs 215 grams, and is 15 mm thick. For both the cooked and uncooked steak, she uses the thumb-test to determine the done-ness, i.e. she uses her thumb (area ~5cm2) to push down with a force of 5 N. The uncooked steak compresses by 7 mm, and the cooked steak by 2 mm. The change in elasticity of the steak on cooking is due partly to the loss of water volume (so that existing bonds get closer together) and partly to the creation of new bonds. Assume all of the difference in raw vs. cooked steak thickness is due to water loss that makes it thinner (25 mm thick in the uncooked steak, versus 15 mm thick in the cooked steak), and that the other dimensions of the steak (length and width) have not changed.
