(a) By using the law of conservation of energy, the distance moved by the solid disk along the ramp is 0.96 m.

(b) The answer does not depend on the mass and radius of the disc as these values are canceled when the law of conservation of energy is applied.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is conserved.

The total initial energy Ei of the disc rolling down an inclined plane is given by the formula,

Ei=1/2*mv^2 + 1/2*Iω^2

where m is the mass of the disc, v is the velocity of the disc, I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity of the disc.

For a solid disc, I=1/2mr^2, and since it is rolling without slipping, the rolling velocity of the disc will be equal to its translational velocity, that is,

v=ωr or ω=v/r

So using ω=v/r and I=1/2mr^2, it can be written,

Ei=1/2*m(v)^2 + 1/2*(1/2mr^2)(v/r)^2

Ei=1/2*m(v)^2*(1+1/2*)

Ei=3/4*mv^2

If the height covered by the disc is h before stopping, then its final total  energy Ef will be equal to the potential energy, that is,

Ef=m*g*h

From the law of conservation of energy, it can be written,

Ei=Ef

3/4*mv^2=m*g*h

h=3v^2/(4g)

The length of the ramp is then given by the formula,

l=hcosecθ

where θ is the inclination angle. So

l= 3v^2/(4g)*cosecθ

Here g=9.8 m/s^2, v=2.5 m/s  and θ=30.0 degree. Using these values,

l= 3*(2.5 )^2/(4*9.8)*cosec( 30)

l= 0.96 m

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st
wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N
