Help with Pascal Principle

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

first piece of tape what it was before the mass went in. The higher piece was what it was after it was added.

@Data_LG2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello :) I think this part of your lab is related to archimedes principle not pascal... anyway, have you calculated the volume displacement of the water?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Rip I think so too sorry I just learned about both so its like ><

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Oh wait. It legit just says "achimedes principle

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

im blind lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay, you'll learn it better soon ^-^ Pascal's principle has something to do with liquid pressure in an enclosed system. Archimedes principle: buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid (remember this because you'll use this in the future ) Now with your lab... Some information that you'll need: density of water is \(\sf 1000 kg•m^{-3}\) acceleration due to gravity \(\sf 9.8 m•s^{-2}\) density formula is mass over volume: \(\sf \rho = \large \frac{m}{V}\), where V is the volume displacement. Tell me the difference between the volumes in your lab. (Subtract those two values: the volume before - volume after)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so in the picture its at 200 before and 300 after. so the change is 100

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

or i guess before-after = -100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure it's 300 not 302 ml ? displacement is always after - before :)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I guess the tape does go past 300 but I am unsure the measurement though. because it looks like its going up by 5

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

But I counted every line it would be short before you hit 350

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

S: evil measurements ><

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol it is the standard measurement in any measuring instruments. long lines have the 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 ... short lines always count from 1 to 4

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Ah I just suck then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah you're not :) alright then so we'll assume that it is 302, and 200, so Vd will be?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

200-302=-102?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

displacement is always after - before :)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Lel rip above like before the measurements happened you said before - after so then positive 102

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

1000=m/102?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^_^ okay good. We'll need that value later. Now, we'll find the mass of the water using the density formula. Yes! that's right !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wait.. the units are different. you have to convert units first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vd= 102 ml (this is in milliliters) p= 1000 kg/m^3 (this is in meters cube)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Welp we have to change it to kg per liter right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to make it easier, just change 102 ml to m^3 because if you'll convert kg/m3 to kg/L, you'll also have to convert ml to L :)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

0.000102 m^3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. now use the formula to calculate for the mass
