Fig. 5.1 presents a metal block resting on a level surface.
Fig. 5.1 labels: metal block; base dimensions 6.0 cm by 3.0 cm.
(a(i))[2]
Calculate the weight of the metal block.
(a(ii))[3]
Calculate the pressure on the flat surface due to the metal block.
(b)[3]
State the effect, if any, of the temperature increase on:
1. the volume of the metal block
2. the mass of the metal block
3. the density of the metal block
Worked solution & mark scheme
This 8-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: “(weight =) mass \times g OR 1.6 \times 10 OR mass = W \div g” …
