When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic

Gwar [14]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

90% of the body is submerged in water.

Now it is immersed in an unknown liquid whose density is less than the density of water.

Buoyant force acting on the body depends on the volume immersed, density of liquid and gravity.

As the density of liquid is less than the density of water, so the buoyant force acting on the body by the unknown liquid is less than water. So it is submerged less than 90% in this liquid.

A wire 3.22 m long and 7.32 mm in diameter has a resistance of 11.9 mΩ. A potential difference of 33.7 V is applied between the

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(a) Current is 2831.93 A

(b) $8.40A/m^2$

(c) $\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m$

Explanation:

Length of wire l = 3.22 m

Diameter of wire d = 7.32 mm = 0.00732 m

Cross sectional area of wire

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00366^2=4.20\times 10^{-5}m^2$

Resistance $R=11.9mohm=11.9\times 10^{-3}ohm$

Potential difference V = 33.7 volt

(A) current is equal to

$i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{33.7}{11.9\times 10^{-3}}=2831.93A$

(B) Current density is equal to

$J=\frac{i}{A}$

$J=\frac{2831.93}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}=8.40A/m^2$

(c) Resistance is equal to

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

$11.9\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\rho \times 3.22}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}$

$\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m$
