A beaker of mass 1.2 kg containing 2.5 kg of water rests on a scale. A 3.8 kg block of a metallic alloy of density 3300 kg/m3 is

suspended from a spring scale and is submerged in the water of density 1000 kg/m? as shown in the figure. a) What does the hanging scale read? acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s?Answer in units of N.b) what does the lower scale read? Answer in units of N.

ANSWER:

a) 25.97 N

b) 47.53 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Beaker mass = 1.2 kg

Water mass = 2.5 kg

Water density = 1000 kg/m^3

Block mass = 3.8 kg

Block density = 3300 kg/m^3

a)

The first thing is to calculate the volume of the block, like this:

\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ V=\frac{m}{d} \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ V=\frac{3.8}{3300} \\ V=0.00115m^3 \end{gathered}

Mass of water displaced by the block is:

\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ m=d\cdot V \\ m=1000\cdot0.00115 \\ m=1.15kg \end{gathered}

The block will receive a push from the water equal to the weight of the water displaced by the block, or the effective weight of the block will be reduced by the same amount:

\begin{gathered} W=(m_b-m)\cdot g \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ W=(3.8-1.15)\cdot9.8 \\ W=25.97\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 25.97 N is the reading on the hanging scale.

b)

The bottom scale will gain by the same amount (1.15 kg). Therefore, the totalweight on the bottom scale is:

\begin{gathered} W=(1.2+2.5+1.15)\cdot9.8 \\ W=4.85\cdot9.8 \\ W=47.53\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 47.53 N is the reading on the lower scale.

Answer:

The density ρ of metal block is 8.92g/cm³

So from the given density table this corresponds to copper which has density of 8.92(g/mL)

Explanation:

Oh yeah, I got the correct unit update,

Now this problem bothers on the density of substances

We know that the density of a substance is expressed as

Density ρ= mass/ volume

Given data

Mass of metal block m= 62.44g

Volume of metal block v= 7 cm³

Hence we can find the density of the metal block by plugging in our data into the expression for density

ρ of metal block = 62.44/7

ρ of metal block = 8.92g/cm³

The block is a copper block

8-30-2018 what phase change occurs as the substance at 0 degree c has its pressure dropped from 0.50 at to 0.25 atm
madam [21]

Answer:

at T = 0ºC the change of state is from the solid state to the gaseous state

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the changes of state, from the data we will assume that the material is water.

Water can exist in three solid states, liquid and gas, in a graph of pressure ℗ against temperature (T) there is a point called triple at T = 0.01ºC, below this point the curve has two states at high pressure solid and low pressure gas.

As a result of the previous ones at T = 0ºC the change of state is from the solid state to the gaseous state
