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

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)
