Question 2 Report
A 50kg block is dropped from a point 10cm above as shown in the fig above. if the force constant of the spring is 4.0 x 104Nm-1, find the maximum compression of the spring [g = 10ms-2]
Answer Details
Question 3 Report
Answer Details
mh x ch x θ h = mc x cc x θ c
mh x ch x (θ - 20) = mc x cc x (20 - 10)
ch = cc ; mc = 3mh
therefore, θ = 50oC

A cube of side 10cm and mass 0.5kg floats in a liquid with only \( \frac{1}{5} \) of its height above the liquid surface. What is the relative density of the liquid?
Answer Details
volume of cube = 103cm3
volume of liquid displaced = 45 x 1000
= 800cm3
density of liquid displaced;
= 500800
= 0.625cm-1
