Extra Credit (a).      A solid ball has a weight of 3.5N. When it is submerged in water (density of water is 1,000 kg/m3), it has an apparent weight is 2.7 N. What is the density of the             ball?                                                                                                           (2.5 points) (b).        The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 190,000 Pa. What force does this gauge pressure cause on the top of the tank inside a water              heater if the area of the top is 0.7 m2?                                                                                   (1.5 points)

This is a reflection question about the content and the delivery of the course. Part of this is for me as an instructor. Please answer honestly, you will not be graded on having the correct answer. But if you barely write anything it will result in a reduction in points. Part of the reason for this is to make this class better going forward.  Please write about these things.  What were the concepts or ideas that have stuck in your mind the most from this course? Do you feel like you gained more information from Huston Smith’s book or from in class content? What were some of the most helpful activities during class time that helped you understand the material, and what were the least helpful? What were some of the most helpful things I did as an instructor, and what were some of the least helpful?
