Metal slotted handguards were used on the fully automatic M2 for better cooling. Some people now put them on M1 carbines simply because they like the look. They were never used on M1s in the military.

What is the formula for calculating density of an alloy?

Da = (D1V1 + D2V2 + D3V3 + ..) / (V1 + V2 + V3 + ..) = (m1 + m2 + m3 + ..) / (V1 + V2 + V3 + ..), where Da is the alloy's overall density, Dx is the density of the given component metal, Vx is the volume of the given component metal, and mx is the mass of the given component metal.

Lithium has only two naturally occurring isotopes The mass of lithium-6 is 6.01512 amu and the mass of lithium-7 is 7.01601 amu Use the atomic mass of lithium to calculate abundances mass Li 6.941?

The atomic mass of Lithium is equal to the weighted average of the two naturally occurring isotopes. Let M=the atomc mass of Lithium; M1=the mass of lithium-6;M2=the mass of Lithium-7; %a=the abundance of lithium-6; %b=the abundance of lithium-7. M=(M1*%a+M2*%b)/100 we know that %a and %b must add up to give us 100%, so %a=100-%b. Therefore M=(M1*(100-%b)+M2*%b)/100 Then we just need to solve for %b because everything else is known. M=(M1*100-M1*%b+M2*%b)/100-->M-M1=(-M1*%b+M2*%b)/100 100(M-M1)=(-M1*%b+M2*%b)-->%b=100(M-M1)/(M2-M1)=92.5% Then %a=100-%b=100-92.5=7.5%

How will acceleration change if the mass being accelerated is multiplied by three but the net force ir reduced to half?

One sixth of the original : Force = (mass) x (acceleration). So Acceleration = (Force)/(mass).So A1 = F1/m1 ; if F2 = .5*F1 and m2 = 3*m1. So A2 = F2/m2 = (.5*F1)/(3*m1) = (F1/m1)/6 = A1/6.

Did inland produce any m1 carbines with blue finish?

Possibly. There is mention of a black oxide finish on early carbines that resembled bluing more than Parkerizing. Winchester referred to it as Du-lite. All carbines were made with SOME blued parts.
