1) A blimp weighs 100 tons.  It displaces 90 tons of air.  Will this blimp float in the air?

2) Who came up with this principle of flotation?

1) Heck no!  It must displace a greater weight of air than its own to float in air.

2) Archimedes

A spring stretches 10 cm when a 5 kg (50 N) weight is suspended from it.  

1) How much will it stretch if the weight is doubled to 10 kg (100 N)?

2) How much would it stretch if a second, identical spring is attached side by side with the same 10 kg (100 N) weight suspended from the two springs?

3) What if the two springs were in a series end to end?

1) Twice as much (20 cm)

2) Half of that (10 cm)

3) each spring stretches 20 cm, so the total stretch would be 40 cm
