Archimedes principle can be used not only to determine the specific gravity of a solid using a known liquid (Example 10-8); the reverse can be done as well. (a) As an example, a 3.40-kg aluminum ball has ab apparent mass of 2.10 kg when submerged in particular liquid; calculate the density of the liquid. (b) Derive a formula for determining the density of a liquid using this procedure
The specific gravity of a substance is given by G = DS/DW, where DS is the density of the substance in kg/m3 and DW is the density of water, which is known to be 1000 kg/m3. The density of a particular substance is measured to be DS = 500 ± 5 kg/m3. Estimate the specific gravity, and find the...
In determining the specific gravity of an object, its weight in air is found to be A = 36 pounds and its weight in water is W = 20 pounds, with a possible error in each measurement of 0.02 pound. Find, approximately, the maximum possible error in calculating its specific gravity S, where S = A/ (A...
The chapter discusses how database marketing can be used not only as a tool to reach customers and close sales, but also to aid product development. Working again in small teams, identify three distinct offerings that could be developed for well-known brands based on input and knowledge gleaned...
Which measurement level (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is each of the following variables? Explain. a. Number of hits in Game 1 of the next World Series. b. Baltimore’s standing in the American League East (among five teams). c. Field position of a baseball player (catcher, pitcher, etc.)....
The purpose of the placebo is: (a) To prevent participants from knowing whether they belong to the treatment group or the control group; (b) To distinguish between the cases and the controls in a case-control study; (c) To determine whether pulse rates are affected by participation in the trial.
Assume the bonds in BE14-2 were issued at 103. Prepare the journal entries for (a) January 1, (b) July 1, and (c) December 31. Assume The Colson Company records straight-line amortization semiannually.

The financial statements and accompanying notes of Aritzia Inc. are presented in Appendix A at the end of this book. Instructions a. What classifications does Aritzia use in its balance sheet? b. In what order are Aritzia’s current assets listed? Its non-current assets? c. What are Aritzia’s...
A scuba diver and her gear displace a volume of 65.0 L and have a total mass of 68.0 kg. (a) What is the buoyant force on the diver in sea water? (b) Will the diver sink of float?
A 0.48-kg piece of wood floats in water but is found to sink in alcohol (SG = 0.79), in which it has an apparent mass of 0.047 kg, what is the SG of the wood?
