The bouyancy force is:  

Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force 

 is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl 

 is the volume of 

 the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the

  combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is 

 in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight: 

 ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb 

 now we can solve for the volume of lead: 

 ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb 

 Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw) 

 Vl =   

 Ďbâ’Ďw 

 Ďwâ’Ďl   

 Vb 

 Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3  , 

 the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3 

 . We get: 

 Vl =   

 600â’1000 

 1000â’11300 

 (0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.

Sort the sentences based on whether they describe radio waves, visible light waves, or both.
valentina_108 [34]

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum  = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about  dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the  temperature of stars  = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves
