The density of the metal sphere is 2 times the density of the liquid as proved.

<h3>Net upward force acting on the metal sphere</h3>

The net upward force acting on the sphere as it is dropped into the liquid is calculated as follows;

F =  σVg - ρVg

ma =  σVg - ρVg  

where;

  • ρ is density of the liquid
  • σ is the density of the metal
  • a is acceleration of the metal

σV(a) =  σVg  - ρVg

σ(a) = σg  - ρg

σ(g/2) = σg -  ρg  

g(σ/2) = g(σ -  ρ)

σ/2 = σ -  ρ

σ/2 - σ = -  ρ

-σ/2 = -  ρ

σ = 2ρ

Thus, the density of the metal sphere is 2 times the density of the liquid as proved.

a stone is dropped from top of a tower of 50m high ,simltaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20m/s find the
aleksklad [387]
At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is

             H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,

and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is

             H  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when

                         <span>50 - (1/2 G Q²)  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

This is looking like it's going to be easy.

Add  </span><span>(1/2 G Q²)  to each side.
Then it says
                                             50  =  20Q

Divide each side by 20:          2.5  =  Q .

And there we are.  The stones pass each other

                                       2.5 seconds

after they are simultaneously launched.

Compare the gravity between these pairs, each consisting of an Earth-like planet and its star. You are given the mass of the pla
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravity states that the force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law is expressed by the formula:

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\Where\ F=force,G=gravitational\ constant, m_1\ and\ m_1=mass\ of\ objects,r\ =distance\ between \ the\ two\ objects.

The masses and distances for this question is in common units, Therefore the result would be in ratios

a) 4 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 3 AU

The force (F) = (4 * 3) / 3² = 4/3

b) 1 MEarth / 1 MSolar / 1 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 1) / 1² = 1

c) 1 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 2 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 2) / 2² = 1/2

A uniform steel girder of weight 22KN and of length 12m is lifted off the ground at one end by means of a crane. When the raised
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

For free body diagram see attached sheet .

W is weight of steel girder acting at the middle point of its length . T is tension in the cable .

OB = √ ( 12² - 2² )

= 11.83 m .

OC = 11.83 / 2 = 5.915 m

Taking moment of tension T and weight W about point O

W x OC = T x OB

22 x 5.915 = T x 11.83

T = 22 x 5.915 / 11.83

= 11 kN

Considering forces acting in vertical direction and equating forces in opposite direction

T + R = W

R = W - T

= 22 - 11 = 11 KN

So force of grinder on the ground = R

= 11 KN.
