Aluminum Reading Glasses

100g glass containing 250ml of water is placed on weighting scales.
Aluminum ball V=50ml, m=115g is suspended from the ceiling and fully submerged in water.

F = weight of glass + weight of water + bouyant force acting on aluminum ball (not the entire weight of the ball because the ball is suspended from the ceiling).

If the scale reads in grams as is fairly conventional (even though we know that "force" is measured in newtors - the scale will read:

100 g + 250g + 50 g = 400g.

You can convert to newtons or pounds if you would like.

This is because the aluminum ball is bouyed by a force equal to the volume of the water displaced. An equal and opposite force pushes down onto the scale through the water and glass. If the string suspending the aluminum ball had one of those spring scales on it - it would read 65 grams - or the weight minus the bouyand force from the water.

I have a specification for a water pipe pressure gauge that reads as follows:

Minimum 4-1/2" diameter die cast aluminum case, glass or acrylic plastic window, phosphor bronze bourdon tube with BRONZE BUSHED MOVEMENT, recalibration from front of gauge dial and 1/4" NPT forged brass socket.
Can you try to explain the concept of what bushed movement means? Like layman's terms?

All of the pivot or rotating points are a bronze bushing. It is a very common method manufacture for quality pressure gages.

The bushings are very similar in principal to the jewels provided as bearings for quality mechanical watches.

Case History
The victim was located September 8, 2004, by bow hunters in a remote area north of Glenwood Springs. The site is in the drainage of No Name Creek at about 9,700 feet elevation, about 6 miles as the crow flies from Glenwood Springs, but 12 miles by the Transfer Trail out of town.
The skeleton revealed no cause of death and the sheriff's office has been assuming it probably was natural.
The man was found in a tent at a campsite in a wooded, remote location. His trousers had rotted away, but the date of currency found at his campsite indicates he apparently had been there no longer than five years.
The letter leaves open the possibility the man was suicidal, although there is no reason to believe he killed himself. Perhaps he was terminally ill and chose to take his life. The man also could have succumbed to unexpected illness or injury while on an outing in the Flat Tops.
Much about the case is conjecture, including a theory that the man entered the Flat Tops Wilderness at a trailhead on the north and hiked four or five days across elevations of 11,000 feet before setting up his tent on a southern drainage at about 9,700 feet. That theory is supported by two moisture-proof National Geographic trail maps of the Flat Tops with a route drawn across them to the area where the remains were discovered. But it's possible the man picked up the maps someone else had marked and left behind.

My psychic skills are undeveloped, but sometimes I get strong feelings about certain information.

I believe his first name is John or George, and his last name starts with Mac or Mc.
He was not suicidal, but he was terminally ill, and believed that no-one could help him. He was poor in the end, after spending his lifetime's financial establishment on looking for a cure. His condition did not affect his ability to walk, carry a heavy load, survive in very cold weather or remain sane when alone for long periods. He came out to hike alone to establish peace with God, and pray that the research he financed will help his children out of this hereditary condition. His condition was physical, but it affected him neurologically, leading to mild psychosis including paranoia, boredom and hypersensitivity to light and sound. His immunological and circulatory system was sound till his last days, but there was something bad in the food he was consuming.
In his last days he became complacent, forgetting to eat and drink, and due to the loss of fat and muscle on his body, painlessly died of hypothermia in his sleep.

I hope this helps. It may not be accurate; it's just a feeling I get from reading the above report.

Sounds like a friend of mine who has been missing from his girlfriend in Texas. He was experiencing a lot of pain from his neck and back problems. I will foward this information to her. She also knows his family.

I purchashed a kitchen essentials from calphalon, stainless steel pan with a glass lid for $40 from target. I originally bought a cheap one for 15 dollars but returned it because i questioned it.

its an 18/10 and has a thich aluminum bottom core. so is the aluminum covered by stainless & wont leach into the food? I know using aluminum is not good.

Could i find a good set for $100? i was reading through questions & people have said they bought a good quality stainless set for $100 at macys. & kmart for 50

It will be more like $100. Reports say Cuisinairt is the best for the price range and yes, Macy's has them on sale.
Clad is the best, but they start at $500.
Aluminum in the base is o.k.
