Explanation:
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.
Thus,
<u>Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.</u>
Answer:
The angular speed of the new system is 
.
Explanation:
Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:
Where:
- Moment of inertia of a disk, measured in kilogram-square meter.
- Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.
- Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.
This relationship is simplified and final angular speed can be determined in terms of initial angular speed:
Given that 
, the angular speed of the new system is:
The angular speed of the new system is .
Answer:
191.36 N/m
Explanation:
From the question,
The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.
mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression
Making k the subject of the equation,
k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2
Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 2
k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²
k = 51.744/0.2704
k = 191.36 N/m
Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m
