A water tank is in the shape of a truncated cone 2012-03-08
From Victoria:
Suppose you have a water tank in the shape of a truncated cone. The larger diameter is K, the smaller diameter is K/2, and the height is also K (all measured in meters). The force of gravity on an object of mass, m, is F=9.8m (measured in Newtons). The density of the water is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter. What is the volume of the tank and how much mass will the tank have when it is full?

Unit Conversion for Force and Mass 2009-05-08
From Ray:
Good Day! I was confused about lbm and lbf and slug. I knew that lbm is a unit for mass and lbf is a unit for weight. my problem is some books follow this relationship where lbf=(lbm times the gravitational pull) which is 32.2 ft/(s^2) while other books treat lbm=lbf. other books also treat lbm=(lbf times 32.2)... which is correct? Is 1kg=2.205 lbm or 1kg=2.205lbf? Is 1BTU=778.16 lbf-ft or 1BTU=778.16 lbm-ft? what is the relationship of slug on these two, lbm and lbf?

The amount of material remaining on a reel 2009-03-04
From James:
Question from james:

I am after a standard calculation so that after each usage of the Reel I can get the Remaining Quantity in kilos left on the roll

below is an example of roll

THICKNESS: 30 MICRON
REEL WIDTH: 7.5 CM
REEL DIAMETER: 76 CM
REEL WEIGHT: 7.13 KILOS

The core centre has a 9cm diameter, the weight of the roll is excluding the core , and after each use the diameter of the role is measured.

I am a factory supervisor working on project and need this calculation info for template.. Thanks James

Is it platinum or silver? 2007-09-14
From Jordan:
In Chemistry we are doing a lot of problems that are much more math related than anything. One of my questions reads: A certain medallion has a mass of 55.64 g. When placed in 75.2 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, the water level rises and then reads 77.8 mL. Is the medallion made of platinum (D=21.4 g/mL) or silver (D= 10.5 g/mL)?

The density of an irregular wooden block 2007-01-30
From Carlos:
I'm trying to help my son but I don't really have too much knowledge about this topic. he is been asked to convert 10 milliliter to gram, I think that since 1 g = 1ml the answer will be 10 g also there is another question of how of the density of an irregular wooden block is affected if:
a) the center is hollow:
b) the block is not completely submerged when determining the volume.
