You have two identical pure silver ingots. You place one of them in a glass of water and observe it to sink to the bottom. You p

lace the other in a container full of mercury and observe that it floats. Comparing the buoyant forces in the two cases you conclude that
a.) the buoyant force in water is smaller than in mercury

b.) the buoyant force in the water is larger than that in mercury

c.) the buoyant force in the water is zero and that in mercury is non - zero

d.) the buoyant force in the water is equal to that in mercury

e.) no conclusion can be made about the respective values of the buoyant forces

Answer: a)

Explanation:

The buoyant force, as stated by Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight of the liquid that occupies the same volumen as the submerged object, as follows:

Fb = δ.V.g

If this force is larger than the weight of the object (that means that the fluid is denser than the solid), the object floats, which is the case for silver and mercury.

Instead, silver density is larger than water density, which explains why the pure silver ingot sinks.

Finally, as mercury is denser than water, we conclude that for a same object, the buoyant force in mercury is larger than in water (exactly 13.6 times greater).

In your physics lab you are given a 10.1-kg uniform rectangular plate with edge lengths 68.7 cm by 47.5 cm. Your lab instructor
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.35 kgm^2

Explanation:

we take length 68.7 cm as x-axis and 47.5 cm as y-axis then the axis about which we have to find out moment of inertia will be z-axis.

moment of inertia about x-axis

I_x = ML^2 /3 = 10.1\times 0.4752 /3 = 0.7596 kg-m2

I_y = 10.1\times 0.6872 / 3 = 1.5889 kgm^2

by perpendicular axis theorem

I_z = I_x + I_y = 0.7596 + 1.5889 = 2.35 kgm^2

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.
Tanzania [10]
<span>TRUE

The force that opposes the movement of an object through water is called drag. This is a type of frictional force. This force normally depends on the density and the viscosity of the fluid in question. The liquid which has more density and more viscosity or stickiness will produce a greater amount of drag force on an object than a fluid that is less dense and less viscous in nature.  River water normally has less drag than that of sea water. </span><span> <span>
