Oil having a density of 930 kg/m^3 floats on

Physics
1 answer:
Zolol [24]3 years ago

Answer:

0.0268 m

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are three forces: weight force mg pulling down, buoyancy of the oil B₁ pushing up, and buoyancy of the water B₂ pushing up.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

B₁ + B₂ − mg = 0

ρ₁V₁g + ρ₂V₂g − mg = 0

ρ₁V₁ + ρ₂V₂ = m

ρ₁V₁ + ρ₂V₂ = ρV

ρ₁Ah₁ + ρ₂Ah₂ = ρAh

ρ₁h₁ + ρ₂h₂ = ρh

(930 kg/m³)h₁ + (1000 kg/m³)h₂ = (968 kg/m³) (4.93 cm)

Since the block is fully submerged, h₁ + h₂ = 4.93 cm.

(930 kg/m³) (4.93 cm − h₂) + (1000 kg/m³)h₂ = (968 kg/m³) (4.93 cm)

h₂ = 2.68 cm

h₂ = 0.0268 m

They are formed when two plates collide, either crumpling up and forming mountains or pushing one of the plates under the other and back into the mantle to melt. Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts.
