When the battery acid has a higher concentration, it has a higher specific gravity. Furthermore, hydrometer is used to test the content of natural rubber in rubber latex.
The hydrometer sinks deeper when the liquid has a lesser density.
The hydrometer sinks lesser when the liquid has a greater density.

iv) Ship

A ship, though it is very heavy, it still floats on the surface of the sea when the weight of the sea water displaced is equal to its own weight which is equal to the buoyant force. This is because the buoyant force = the weight of the ship. Since the ship is hollow, the volume of water displaced by the ship is large. Therefore, the buoyant force on the ship is large enough to cause the ship to float. ( Fb = ρVg )

However, the ship may sink too deeply into water due to overloading or changes in water density: then the danger of being capsized might be happened. To avoid this, a Plimsoll line is marked on the hull of all ships, which acts as a guide whether the depths are safe for them to navigate.

    This gave rise to what has become known as Archimedes’ Principle: an object is immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This discovery also helped him in aiding King Hiero 11. Archimedes used the water displacement method to identify the use of silver, instead of gold, in the crown. This was an amazing way to figure out the content without disturbing the structure of the crown itself.…

    The pH probe was connected to a laptop by a USB connector, and the real-time pH of the solutions was seen on a graph using the Logger Pro (Version: 3.10.1) software of Vernier Software & Technology. 1 mL of each solution was measured into three separate test tubes for the ion test. A graduated cylinder was obtained and used to measure out 1 mL of silver nitrate and 1 mL of nitric acid. One test tube of solution at a time, 1 mL of silver nitrate and 1 mL of nitric acid was poured into the test tube, and then the test tube was agitated to obtain a precipitate. These steps were performed with all three test tubes.…

    In the time of 1912, the sinking of the world’s largest, most advanced ship shook the world” (Bender). The ship was totally unprepared for the iceberg it hit, but it improved ship safety in many ways. However, there were many things that could have been done to prevent the loss of so many lives. First of all, the Titanic wasn’t fully prepared with…

    “Knowing how men in the water died is not the same thing as knowing why they died.” This quote is from the book Left for Dead, saying that there is a difference of how and why they died. These men were head to receive the atomic bomb that would end World War 2. However, the Japanese had a submarine out in the waters waiting for the USS Indianapolis, and when they sighted the ship they fired torpedoes at the ship to sink it in 12 minutes.…

    In the “ If the earth has layers than the top layer is the least dense.” the hypothesis was accepted. Data that supports this is that canister number one had the least amount of sand and a density of 0.40g/mL3.This canister was the least dense of the three canisters. This is why it floated on the surface of the water. Opposed to canisters numbers two with more sand than canister number two and canister number three had the most sand .Water…

    The result of this experiment was that tube 5 and 6 decreased in mass. Tube 2, 3 and 4 increased in mass. This is because in the hypertonic solution, water in the tube was flowing outwards, because the concentration of dissolved solutes was greater outside the tube than inside it. This caused the tube to shrink, for example, beaker number 5 and 6 with 40 % sucrose outside and 20% inside the tube. Apart from this, in hypotonic solution, water was rushed into the tube by osmosis, which is not good for the cell because it will fill with water and burst, for…

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the temperature and pressure of air at constant volume which placed the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperature. At the constant volume of the air in the Jolly’s bulb, the temperature and pressure of the air are measured and recorded throughout the experiment. The result shows that the pressure of the air in the Jolly’s bulb increases as the temperature rises, and the pressure decreases as the temperature decreases. After plotting the graph manually according to the data obtained from the experiment, it shows that the pressure of air is linearly proportional to the temperature of air at constant volume.…
