B. Answers this question with the correct formula, way, and final answers !
1. A Greek scientist called Archimedes was asked to check the purity of the gold in a
crown. He did this by comparing the density of the crown with the density of pure gold.
a. Describe how he could have measured the density of an irregular-shaped object
such as a crown.
Answer:
First we should find the mass of the crown by weighing the crown using scale.
We need to know also the volume of the crown. We can find the volume of the
crown by using volume beaker and you put the crown to the volume beaker and
find the difference of the volume.

b. Pure gold has a density of 19 000 kg/m3. Suppose the crown had a volume of 0.0001
m3. What mass should the crown be if it is made of pure gold?
Answer:
1.9 Kg

2. People working on the roofs of buildings often lay a ladder or plank of wood on the
roof. They walk on the ladder rather than the roof itself.
a. Explain why using a ladder or plank will help to prevent damage to the roof.
Answer:
It can prevent damaging the roof by reduce the pressure because the Area that
contact with the roof is much bigger than both our foot. Because more Area
contact will give less pressure but less Area of contact will give more pressure.

b. A workman's weight is 850 N, and each of his boots has an area of 210 cm2.
Calculate the maximum pressure under his feet when he is walking. Give your
answer in pascals.
Answer:
First you must convert the area of his boots into m2 because the answers in pascal.
850
0.042

c. The workman lays a plank on the roof. The plank has an area of 0.3 m2 and a weight
of 70 N. What is the maximum pressure under the plank when he is walking on it?
Answer:
233.33 pa

3. A manometer can be used to find the pressure of a gas. The difference in the level of
the liquid in each side of the tube indicates the difference in pressure on the water
surface at A and the pressure of the gas on the water surface at B. (Assume atmospheric
pressure is 100 kPa.)

Atmospheric Pressure

Gas Pressure

a. What is the difference in pressure in Pa between A and B? Use g = 10 N/kg.


Answer:
𝑃 =ℎ ×𝜌 ×𝑔
𝑃 = 0.1 × 1000 × 10
𝑃 = 1000 Pa
b. What is the pressure of the gas in tube C?
Answer:
Pressure of the gas in the tube = Atmospheric Pressure + Difference in Pressure
between A and B
= 100.000 + 1000
= 101.000 = 101 Kpa

c. Describe what will happen when the gas is turned off and the pipe is removed from
C.
Answer:
The level of the water will be equal because the pressure on the A and B are the
same because both of them are atmospheric pressure.
