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

BALANCED FORCES

When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces . a stationary object stays still. ... a moving object continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction.

A uniformly charged, one-dimensional rod of length L has total positive charge Q. Itsleft end is located at x = ????L and its ri

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$|\vec{F}| = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))$

Explanation:

The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

$\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r$

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.

In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.

We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.

Applying Coulomb's Law:

$d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qdq}{x + x_0}(\^x)$

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.

Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{dq}{dx}\\dq = \frac{Qdx}{L}$

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

$d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQdx}{L(x+x_0)}(\^x)$

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.

$\vec{F} = \int{d\vec{F}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}\int\limits^{L}_0 {\frac{1}{x+x_0}} \, dx = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))(\^x)$

n oscillator is driven by a sinusoidal force. The frequency of the applied force A : must be less than the natural frequency of

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

B : is independent of the natural frequency of the oscillator

Explanation:

You can apply any force you like to a natural oscillator. It is independent of the natural frequency of the oscillator.

The result you get will depend on how the frequency of the applied force and the natural frequency relate to each other. It will also depend on the robustness of the oscillator with respect to the applied force.

Clearly, if the force is small enough, it will have no effect on the oscillator. If it is large enough, it will overpower any motion the oscillator may attempt. For forces in the intermediate range, there will be some mix of natural oscillation and forced behavior. One may modulate the other, for example.
