STABILITY OF A FLOATING BODY Introduction It is important to know if a body is stable like a ship floating on the surface of a liquid and the stability depends on the height of the center of gravity. In this experiment‚ the stability of a pontoon will be found by changing its center of gravity at different heights which we can then use to compare to the theoretical stability that was calculated. Theory To find out if the floating body is stable‚ this experiment is to find out the metacentric

Ocean Waves A wave is a periodic disturbance in space and time‚ possibly transferring energy to or through a space-time region. Have you ever ridden a wave in the ocean? Ocean waves travel on the surface of the water. You can see them and you can feel them. As you swim through the water‚ you can even make your own waves. The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water‚ through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules

The goals of this experiment are to determine if the products derived from amide synthesis and Williamson Ether Synthesis are identical‚ and if one of the synthetic routes is more advantageous than the other. In Part 1‚ an attempt to synthesize acteophenetidin crystals by amide synthesis was made. We began by removing the colored impurities from the p-Phenetidine (reddish-brown) by placing 2g of the sample in 38 mL of hydrochloric acid and heating the solution to boiling point. Upon reaching just

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS 1 Torricelli’s barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m-3. Determine the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure. 2 A vertical off-shore structure is built to withstand a maximum stress of 109 Pa. Is the structure suitable for putting up on top of an oil well in the ocean? Take the depth of the ocean to be roughly 3 km‚ and ignore ocean currents. 3 A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with

HEAT 4.1 UNDERSTANDING THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM 1. Define: The measure of the degree of hotness of an object. (a) Temperature Measured in SI unit Kelvin‚ K A hot object is at a higher temperature than a cold object. Form of energy‚ measured in Joules‚ J (b) Heat Heat is transferred from hotter object (higher temperature) to colder object (lower temperature) When an object is heated‚ it will absorb heat energy and the temperature will increase. When an object is cooled‚ it will release heat energy and

Determination of Melting and Boiling Point of different Organic Compounds Bakare‚ Abimbola Kristine‚ C. Professor Miranda Marilyn‚ school of chemical engineering and biotechnology‚ Mapua Institute of Technology‚ CHM145L-B11 ABSTRACT A melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the first crystal just starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal just disappears. Thus‚ the melting point (m.p.) is actually a melting range. The melting point of a substance depends

Conclusions The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between a substance’s specific heat and its atomic weight. In the lab‚ the substances with the higher atomic weights had less specific heat. From this‚ we can conclude that specific heat and atomic weight have an inverse relationship‚ meaning as one decreases the other increases. The reason for this is because if atoms are small‚ or light‚ they have the ability to pack tightly together‚ leaving almost no space between them
