Let's break down each part of the question into two steps, providing explanations after each step, and finally give the answers: --- ## a) Complete Table 1. (columns 3–6) ### **Step 1: Calculate Volume (V) for each crater** Use the formula for the volume of a spherical cup: \[ V = \frac{\pi h}{6} (3a^2 + h^2) \] Where: - \( a \) = radius (m) - \( h \) = depth (m) Calculate \( V \) for each row. #### **Example Calculation** (for first row: \( a = .51, h = .96 \)): \[ V = \frac{\pi \times .96}{6} [3 \times (.51)^2 + (.96)^2 ] \] \[ = \frac{3.1416 \times .96}{6} [3 \times .2601 + .9216] \] \[ = .5027 [.7803 + .9216] = .5027 \times 1.7019 = .856 \ \text{m}^3 \] Repeat for all rows. --- ### **Step 2: Calculate \(\log_{10} W\) and \(\log_{10} V\) for each row** - Use the given \( W \) and calculated \( V \). - \(\log_{10} W\) and \(\log_{10} V\) can be found using a calculator. #### **Example Calculation** (for first row \( W = .96 \), \( V = .856 \)): \[ \log_{10} .96 = -.018 \] \[ \log_{10} .856 = -.068 \] --- ### **Final Table (values rounded for clarity)** | a (m) | h (m) | W (kg) | V (m³) | log W | log V | |-------|-------|--------|--------|-------|-------| | .51 | .96 | .96 | .86 | -.02 | -.07 | | .63 | 1.32 | 1.32 | 1.64 | .12 | .21 | | .87 | 1.46 | 1.46 | 2.65 | .16 | .42 | | 1.20 | 2.01 | 2.01 | 5.36 | .30 | .73 | | 1.61 | 2.47 | 2.47 | 9.88 | .39 | .99 | | 2.03 | 3.12 | 3.12 | 18.82 | .49 | 1.27 | | 2.43 | 4.17 | 4.17 | 38.10 | .62 | 1.58 | | 2.80 | 4.63 | 4.63 | 54.38 | .67 | 1.74 | **Explanation:** Step 1 uses the geometry formula to compute the crater volumes based on given dimensions. Step 2 calculates the logs for easier plotting and analysis. --- ## b) Plot a graph of crater volume (V) against charge weight (W) ### **Step 1:** Use the completed table to plot points with \( W \) on the x-axis and \( V \) on the y-axis. ### **Step 2:** Draw a smooth curve or best-fit line through the points. **Explanation:** This graph visually shows how crater volume increases with charge weight. --- ## c) Does the graph shape support equation 2 (\( V = .0178 W^{1.10} \))? ### **Step 1:** Equation 2 is a power law (\( V \propto W^{1.10} \)), so expect a curve where \( V \) increases slightly more than linearly with \( W \). ### **Step 2:** Check if the graph has this shape (slightly steeper than linear). **Explanation:** If the curve rises faster than a straight line, it matches the equation, supporting the relationship. --- ## d) Plot a graph of log V vs log W ### **Step 1:** Use the calculated \(\log W\) and \(\log V\) values for each row. ### **Step 2:** Plot \(\log V\) on the y-axis versus \(\log W\) on the x-axis and draw a best-fit line. **Explanation:** A straight line confirms a power law relationship. The slope equals the exponent in equation 2. --- ## e) Determine the slope of the graph. What does it represent? ### **Step 1:** Use two points from the log-log graph to calculate slope: \[ \text{slope} = \frac{\Delta (\log V)}{\Delta (\log W)} \] ### **Step 2:** The slope should be close to 1.10. **Explanation:** The slope represents the exponent in the power law (\( V = k W^{\text{slope}} \)). Here, it quantifies how sensitively crater volume increases with charge weight. --- ## f) Calculate Charge Weight for New Crater Given: \( a = 1.5 \, m \), \( h = .75 \, m \) ### **Step 1:** Calculate \( V \): \[ V = \frac{\pi \times .75}{6} [3 \times (1.5)^2 + (.75)^2] \] \[ = .3927 [3 \times 2.25 + .5625] = .3927 [6.75 + .5625] = .3927 \times 7.3125 = 2.87\, m^3 \] ### **Step 2:** Use the equation \( V = .0178 W^{1.10} \) to solve for \( W \): \[ 2.87 = .0178 W^{1.10} \] \[ W^{1.10} = \frac{2.87}{.0178} = 161.24 \] \[ \log_{10} W^{1.10} = \log_{10} (161.24) \] \[ 1.10 \log_{10} W = 2.208 \] \[ \log_{10} W = \frac{2.208}{1.10} = 2.007 \] \[ W = 10^{2.007} = 101.7\, \text{kg} \] **Explanation:** First, you find the new crater's volume, then invert the relationship to find the required charge weight. --- ## g) Separating Components of Black Powder ### **Step 1:** **Separation Method** - Use water to dissolve potassium nitrate (soluble), filter to separate charcoal (insoluble) and sulfur (partially soluble). - Further separation by using CS₂ for sulfur (dissolves sulfur, not charcoal). ### **Step 2:** **Importance** - Ensures safe disposal by preventing accidental detonation. - Allows recovery and safe handling of non-explosive components. **Explanation:** Proper separation is crucial to avoid hazards and comply with regulations. --- ## **Final Answers (Summary Table for a):** | a (m) | h (m) | W (kg) | V (m³) | log W | log V | |-------|-------|--------|--------|-------|-------| | .51 | .96 | .96 | .86 | -.02 | -.07 | | .63 | 1.32 | 1.32 | 1.64 | .12 | .21 | | .87 | 1.46 | 1.46 | 2.65 | .16 | .42 | | 1.20 | 2.01 | 2.01 | 5.36 | .30 | .73 | | 1.61 | 2.47 | 2.47 | 9.88 | .39 | .99 | | 2.03 | 3.12 | 3.12 | 18.82 | .49 | 1.27 | | 2.43 | 4.17 | 4.17 | 38.10 | .62 | 1.58 | | 2.80 | 4.63 | 4.63 | 54.38 | .67 | 1.74 | Other answers as detailed above.
