Consider an iron block with uniform density. This block of iron is cut into two pieces, so that portion 1 has a greater volume than portion 2. Which of the two portions has a higher density?
Answers:
a) Portion 2 has higher density.
b) It is not possible to determine it with the information given by the statement of the exercise.
C) None, both portions have the same density.
d) Portion 1 has higher density.
Air at 20∘C flows through the tube shown in (Figure 1). Assume that air is an ideal fluid. The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3, the density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3. Suppose that d1 = 3.00 mm and d2 = 1.20 cm .
a) What is the air speed v1at point 1? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
b)What is the air speed v2 at point 2?
c) What is the volume flow rate?
The density of two liquids (A and B) is given as 1000 kg/m3 and 600 kg/m3, respectively. The two liquids are mixed in a certain proportion and the density of the resulting liquid is 850 kg/m3. How much of liquid B (in grams) does 1 kg of the mixture contain? Assume the volume of the two liquids is additive when mixed.
There is an answer provided on the website but I don't understand the part of
1 = 1000(Va) + 600[(1/850) - Va]
I'd love a more thorough explanation on how to put that into my calculator
