A platinum sphere with radius 1.21 cm is totally immersed in mercury. Find the weight of the sphere, the buoyant force acting on

the sphere, and the sphere's apparent weight. The densities of platinum and mercury are 2.14 × 104 kg/m3 and 1.36 × 104 kg/m3, respectively.

Answer:

1.556 N , 0.989 N, 0.567 N

Explanation:

Radius of sphere, r = 1.21 cm = 0.0121 m

density of platinum , d = 2.14 x 10^4 kg/m^3

density of mercury, d' = 13.6 x 10^3 kg/m^3

Volume of sphere, \frac{4}{3}\pi \times r^{3}= \frac{4}{3}\times 1.34\times \left (0.0121  \right )^{3}

V = 7.42 x 10^-6 m^3

Weight of sphere = volume of sphere x density of platinum x gravity

W = V x d x g = 7.42 x 10^-6 x 2.14 x 10^4 x 9.8 = 1.556 N

Buoyant force, B = Volume x density of mercury x gravity

B = 7.42 x 10^-6 x 13.6 x 10^3 x 9.8 = 0.989 N

Apparent weight = True weight - Buoyant force

Apparent weight = 1.556 - 0.989 = 0.567 N

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

To learn more about the photoelectric effect refer to the link;
