A piece of cork has a mass of 550 grams. An 18 N sinker is attached to it. With only the sinker in water, the cork and sinker weigh 20.7 N, with the sinker and cork both in water, they weigh 0.9 N. When the sinker was immersed in alcohol, it weighed 15.7 N. Determine the density of the cork in kg/m3? What is the specific gravity and density of the sinker? Determine the density of the alcohol in gm/ml.

A mass of 20 grams stretches a spring 5cm. Suppose that the mass is also attached to a damper with constant coefficient 0.4 N·s/m. Initially the mass is pulled down an additional 2cm and released. Write a differential equation for the position u(t) of the mass at time t (make the units meters, kilograms, Newtons, seconds). Do NOT solve the differential equation. The solution to a differential equation that models a vibrating spring is u(t) = 4e−t cos(3t) + 3e−t...
