In lab you find that a 1kg rock suspended above water weights 1ON .when the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water, the scale reads 8N. (a) what is the buoyant force on the rock ?
(b) if the container of water weights 10N on the weighing scale , what is the scale reading when the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water?
(c) what is the scale reading when the rock is released and rest at the bottom of the container ?

You are sitting on the beach and wondering about the properties of mechanical waves. describe them in terms of ocean waves.
