An object weighs 40n in air, weighs 20n when submerged in water and 30n when submerged in a liquid of unknown density. what is the density of the liquid?

An object resting on a table weighs 100 n. with what force is the object pushing on the table? with what force is the table pushing on the object? explain how you got your answer.

Asteel tube (k=50 w/mk) of inner and outer diameter di = 20mm and do=26mm, respectively, is used to transfer heat from hot gases flowing over the tube (h-hot = 200w/m2k) to cold water flowing through the tube (h-cold = 8000 w/m2k). what is the cold-side overall heat transfer coefficient uc? to enhance heat transfer 16 straight fins of rectangular profile are installed longitudinally along the outer surface of the tube. the fins are equally spaced around the circumference of the tube, each having a thickness of 2mm and a length of 15mm. what is the corresponding overall heat transfer coefficient uc? *solve for uc in both cases*
