Determine the zero reading of the Vernier caliper.This is the reading when the jaws of the instrument are in contact with each other. Be surethat the jaws are clean so no grit or other foreign matter gets between them and preventstrue contact. Record the zero reading to 0.001 cm.2. Measure the length and diameter of the samples.These measurements are made by closing the jaws of the caliper on the length or diameter ofthe object being measured and reading the position where the zero line of the Vernier fallson the main scale. The fractional part of a main-scale division is obtained by noting whichline on the Vernier coincides with a line of the main scale. Record the reading in centimetersand read to 0.001 cm.

It is required to determine the volume and mass density of a sample using the vernier caliper only.

The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, at the Trinity test site about 200 mi south of Los Alamos. In 1947, the U.S. government declassified a film reel of the explosion. From this film reel, British physicist G.I. Taylor was able to determine the rate at which the radius of the fireball from the blast grew. Using dimensional analysis, he was then able to deduce the amount of energy released in the explosion, which was a closely guarded secret at the time. Because of this, Taylor did not publish his results until 1950. This problem challenges you to recreate this famous calculation. (a) Using keen physical insight developed from years of experience, Taylor decided the radius rof the fireball should depend only on time since the explosion, t, the density of the air, , and the energy of the initial explosion, E. Thus, he made the educated guess that r=kEabtcfor some dimensionless constant kand some unknown exponents a,b, and c. Given that [E]=ML2T-2 , determine the values of the exponents necessary to make this equation dimensionally consistent. (Hint: Notice the equation implies that k=rEabtcand that [k]=1 ). (b) By analyzing data from high-energy conventional explosives, Taylor found the formula he derived seemed to be valid as long as the constant khad the value 1.03. From the film reel, he was able to determine many values of rand the corresponding values of t. For example, he found that after 25.0 ms, the fireball had a radius of 130.0 m. Use these values, along with an average air density of 1.25kg/m3 , to calculate the initial energy release of the Trinity detonation in joules (J). (Hint: To get energy in joules, you need to make sure all the numbers you substitute in are expressed in terms of SI base units.) (c) The energy released in large explosions is often cited in units of “tons of TNT” (abbreviated “t TNT”), where 1 t TNT is about 4.2 GJ. Convert yow answer to (b) into kilotons of TNT (that is, kt TNT). Compare your answer with the quick-and-duty estimate of 10 kt TNT made by physicist Enrico Fermi shortly after witnessing the explosion from what was thought to be a safe distance. (Reportedly, Fermi made his estimate by dropping some shredded bits of paper right before the remnants of the shock wave hit him and looked to see how far they were carried by it.)
dV An oil tanker aground on a reef is forming a circular oil slick about 0.1 foot thick. To estimate the rate (in cubic feet per minute) at which the oil is leaking from the tanker, it was found that the radius of the slick was increasing at 0.31 foot dt dR dV per minute (- = 0.31) when the radius R was 400 feet. Find using T 3.14. dt dt Tanker A=TR? V=0.1A R dV ft3 /min dt (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Let ρAl represent the density of aluminum and ρFe that of iron. Find the radius of a solid aluminum sphere that balances a solid iron sphere of radius rFe on an equal-arm balance.
Although aluminum foil is very thin, it does have some thickness. We cannot typically “measure” the thickness ofsuch a thin object directly, but the thickness can be determined “indirectly”. Assume that the density of aluminum is2.70 g/cm3 and that the shape of the square aluminum foil is a rectangular cuboid. Then by using the experimental data of the length of the aluminum square 5.10cm, Width is 5.00cm and the mass of aluminum is 0.11g. Determine the thickness of aluminum foil in micrometers. Show your work.

When researchers find a reasonablycomplete fossil of a dinosaur,they can determine the massand weight of the living dinosaurwith a scale model sculpted fromplastic and based on the dimensionsof the fossil bones. The scale of themodel is 1/20; that is, lengths are 1/20actual length, areas are (1/20)2 actualareas, and volumes are (1/20)3 actualvolumes. First, the model is suspended from one arm of a balanceand weights are added to the other arm until equilibrium isreached. Then the model is fully submerged in water and enoughweights are removed from the second arm to reestablish equilibrium. For a model of a particular T. rex fossil, 637.76 ghad to be removed to reestablish equilibrium.What was the volumeof (a) the model and (b) the actual T. rex? (c) If the density ofT. rex was approximately the density of water, what was its mass?
