A 15 cm3 block of gold weighs 2.8 N. It is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. One cm3 of mercury weighs 0.13 N.

1 answer:

5 0

The density of gold is 2.8 N / 15 = 0.18 units
The density of mercury is 0.13/1 = 0.13 units

Since the density of gold is more than density of mercury, it will sink.
Since the gold will sink, it will displace mercury, but less than its own volume

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 8.2Ã10^3 m/s in a direction 87Â° from the direction of th

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.042 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of charged particle, $v=8.2\times 10^3\ m/s$

Angle between velocity and the magnetic field, $\theta=87$

Charge, $q=5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Magnetic force, F = 0.002 N

The magnetic force is given by :

$F=qvB\ sin\theta$

B is the magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ sin\theta}$

$B=\dfrac{0.002}{5.7\times 10^{-6}\times 8.2\times 10^3\times sin(87)}$

B = 0.042 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.042 Tesla. Hence, this is the required solution.
