Two beakers contain water at room temperature. One contains 200ml, the other 400ml. If both beakers are heated above identical Bunsen burners, which of the two will take longer to boil?

The equation dQ = m c dT tells us how the temperature of an object changes when heat energy dQ is added. In this case the specific heat capacity c is the same for the contents of both beakers since we are he...

A 4 metre long bar rotates freely around a central pivot. 3 forces act upon it: 7N down, 2m to the left of the pivot; 8N up, 1m to the left of the pivot; 4N up, 1m to the right of the pivot. Apply one additional force to place the bar in equilibrium.

Begin by calculating the current force and moment of the bar.Force: 8+4-7=5 (or vice versa)Moment: 7 2= 14 Nm anticlockwise 8 1= 8 Nm clockwise 4*1= 4 Nm anticlockwiseSum calculated moments: 14+4-8=10 (or vi...

A house is bought for £150,000 at the start of 2005. For 3 years it loses 10% of its original value per year. After this time it loses 10% per year. What was its value at the end of 2011/start of 2012?

Original value = 150,000 10% original value =15,000 After 3 years year is 2008, house value = 150,000 - 3*(15,000) = 105,000Until start of 2012 from start of 2008, so 4 years of compound intrest. New value o...
