The four fundamental forces of our universe include strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electro-statics and gravity. The two forces that we most commonly feel and experience everyday are the electro-statics and gravity.
                In one situation with the following liquids: water, ethanol, oil and corn syrup, the densities would form multiple layers due to varying density numbers. Water’s density is 1.0 g/cm3, ethanol’s density is 0.789 g/cm3, oil’s density is 0.8 g/cm3, and corn syrup’s density is 1.33 g/cm3. With the following data we can organize how the liquids will settle within a container. The heavier the density, the liquid would settle to the bottom of the container while the lighter the density will cause the liquid to be suspended on the top of the other liquids. By using the previous rules, the order of the liquids from bottom to top is corn syrup, water, oil and ethanol.
                In another situation where two liquids of different densities will form one layer the liquids would include water and alcohol. Water’s density is 1.0 g/cm3 and alcohol’s density is 0.79 g/cm3. If these two liquids were added to a container together, they would mix together to form one layer. This is commonly shown with standard bottles of drinking alcohol.
                The density of osmium is 22.61 g/cm3. The density is lead is 11.32 g/cm3 and the density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3.
At this point, I do not have any comments on the material we are working on. My only question is from the OWL homework on scientific notation. The result continued to be zero or error even after calculating it out multiple times so I would like some help on this question. Other than this one issue, I do not have any other questions or comments at this time.
