Introduction The density or weight of a given volume of mud is determined by using a mud balance. The mud balance consists of a constant volume sample cup with a lid connected to the balance arm. A level bubble which is built into the beam…

When you put water on the fire and get it to boil past its boiling point, it will gradually turn to vapor, which is its gaseous form. In this form, the water composition can take up more space and are sparsely distributed. When you cool…

Introduction The Density of a mud is the weight per unit volume expressed either in pounds per gallon or pounds per cubic foot. The density of the mud is important in order to maintain both the hydrostatic pressure as well as the pressure exerted by…

Introduction In order for us to determine the density or weight of a given mud, we can use a mud balance. In our experiment a 4-scale metal mud balance was used. The mud balance is being made in a way that the fixed volume cup…

Introduction The earth is flat, that’s what people thought before the Greek geographer Eratosthenes proposed the idea that the earth was round. People have also thought the earth was the center of our solar system but that was debunked by copernicus. There are also many…
