Chapter 18, Problem 7PLA
A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the wood in air and the lead weight submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with the wood and the lead weight both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the specific gravity of the wood? Show your work.

Use these facts to predict the result of each experiment in the table below, if you can. experiment 35.0 mL each of Liquid A and Liquid B are poured through a funnel, and the times t and the needed to pour each liquid through the funnel are measured. Identical wire loops are dipped into Liquid A and Liquid B, so that a film of liquid forms across the loops (like the bubble solution on a child's bubble blowing wand). The width of each loop is increased slowly and the forces F and FB needed to make the loops 5% wider are measured. will be greater than t will be less than f Ot will be equal to f predicted outcome It's impossible to predict whether or fB will be greater without more information.
