SAMPLE PROBLEM 4 In the following set up, two spherical metals A and B are attached to the opposite sides of a wooden cylinder (SG = 0.65) which is floating on a still pond at 20 °C. Metal A is a spherical solid aluminum with SG - 2.7 and diameter of 10 cm. However, the identity of the 6 cm -diameter metal B was not recorded. Calculate the specific gravity of metal B if the wooden cylinder is to remain in the horizontal position as shown. If the spherical solids are removed, determine if the wooden cylinder will be stable by solving for its metacentric height (in cm). 30 cm 0-50 cm-

The two-pan balance scale of Fig. a 400-mm-long bar that fits loosely over a 20-mm-diame- ter shaft. The center of mass of the bar coincides with the center of the shaft. The scale functions by placing an item to be weighed (for example, a mini-TV) in the right pan and then placing known weights in the left pan until the scale is in equilibrium. However, because of bearing fric- tion, the system can be in equilibrium for more than a sin- gle value of weight in the left pan. If the coefficient of fric- tion between the bar and the shaft is 0.30, determine the range of weights that can be placed in the left pan to bal- ance an 80-N object placed in the right pan. consists of -200 mm 200 mm -

1. A special-purpose piece of laboratory glassware, called a pyncnometer; is used to measureLiquid densities. It has a volume of 25 cc, and a mass of 17 .24 g when it is full of air. Whenfilled with a liquid of unknown density, its mass = 45.00 g. What is the density of this liquid?How large an error do we make if we ignore the mass of the air that was in it when we weighed itand found m = 17.24 g?
