A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the rock? (c) What is its average density? Is this consistent with the value for granite?
A certain hydraulic system is designed to exert a force 100 times as large as the put into it. (a) What must be the ratio of the area of the cylinder that is being controlled to area of the master cylinder? (b) What must be the ratio of their diameters? (c) By what factor is the distance through which the output force moves reduced relative to the distance through which input force moves? Assume no losses due to friction.

A U.S. 1-cent coin (a penny) has a diameter of 19 mmmm and a thickness of 1.5 mmmm. Assume the coin is made of pure copper, whose density and approximate market price are 8.9 g/cm3g/cm3 and $2.40 per pound, respectively. Calculate the value of the copper in the coin, assuming its thickness is uniform. Express your answer in dollars to two decimal places.
The Ekman number, Ek, arises in geophysical fluid dynamics. It is dimensionless parameter combining seawater density ρ, a characteristic length L, Seawater viscosity μ, and the Coriolis frequency Ωsinφ, where Ω is the rotation rate of the earth and φ is the latitude angle. Determine the correct form of Ek if the viscosity is in the numerator.

Juno is a construction worker. He has found a scrap piece of construction aluminum foil. The sheet has the dimensions of 1.00ft x 5.00ft. Juno knows the 3 aluminum density is 2. 70g/cm. He weighs it and finds its mass is 20.1 grams. Help Juno figure out how thick the sheet is. write your answer in millimeters and with the correct amount of significant figures.
