<span>Gvn that, Radius r = 1.65cm then the Diameter d = 3.3 cm Volume V = 4/3pi*(D/3)^3 = 4/3*3.14*(3.3)^3/8 = 4/3*3.14*35.937/8 = 4/3*3.14*4.492125 = 4/3*14.1052725 = 56.421.9/3 = 18.80703 dm^3 We know that gravity g=9.806m/s^2 p pt = 2.14 * 104 kg/m^3 = 21.4 p hg = 1.36 * 104 kg/m^3 = 13.6 Real Weight Wr = V*p pt*g = 18.80703*21.4*9.806 = 3946.625 N Buoyant force Fb= V*p hg*g = 18.80703*13.6*9.806 = 2508.136 N Apparent weight = Wr-Fb = 3946.625-2508.136 = 1438.489 N Therefore Apparent weight is 1438.489 N</span>

(a) weight of the sphere = 3.95 N

(b) buoyant force = 2.51 N

(c) sphere's apparent weight = 1.44 N

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The basic formula of pressure that needs to be recalled is:

Pressure = Force / Cross-sectional Area

or symbolized:

$\boxed {P = F \div A}$

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>F = Force (N)</em>

<em>A = Cross-sectional Area (m²)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Radius Sphere = R = 1.65 cm = 0.0165 m

Density of Platinum = ρ_p = 2.14 × 10⁴ kg/m³

Density of Mercury = ρ_m = 1.36 × 10⁴ kg/m³

<u>Asked:</u>

(a) weight of the sphere = w = ?

(b) buoyant force = F = ?

(c) sphere's apparent weight = w' = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Part (a):</h3>

$w = mg$

$w = \rho_p V g$

$w = \rho (\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3) g$

$w = \frac{4}{3} \pi \rho g R^3$

$w = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 2.14 \times 10^4 \times 9.8 \times 0.0165^3$

$\boxed {w = 3.95 \texttt{ N}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Part (b):</h3>

$F = \rho_m g V$

$F = \rho_m g (\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3} )$

$F = \frac{4}{3} \pi \rho_m g R^3$

$F = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 1.36 \times 10^4 \times 9.8 \times 0.0165^3$

$\boxed {F = 2.51 \texttt{ N} }$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Part (c):</h3>

$w' = w - F$

$w' = 3.95 - 2.51$

$\boxed {w' = 1.44 \texttt{ N}}$

An Alpha particle moving in north direction give reasons

Mazyrski [523]

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

An alpha particle , can move in any direction randomly. But with a magnetic field , we can deflect the alpha particle in any direction we want.

So , the magnetic field must be placed to the west of the alpha particle , so that the particle gets deflected and moves towards the north direction.

Thank you.

The thickness of a book is 3.2cm, measured between the inside covers the highest level of page is 1096 what order of magnitude e

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Magnitude of Thickness has order of 2.919 × $10^{-5}$ m

Explanation:

Thickness of book is 3.2 cm.

Number of pages in the book is 1096.

Thickness of 1096 pages is 3.2 cm.

Thus, thickness of 1 page is $\frac{3.2}{1096}$ cm

Thickness of 1 page of book is 0.002919 cm

Magnitude of Thickness has order of 2.919 × $10^{-5}$ m

This response suggests that she is most likely in the pre-operational stage of cognitive development. This answer based on the Piaget's 4 Stages of Cognitive Development. The preoperational stage is the second stage of Cognitive development where human's have not yet reach the logical thinking ability.

At what angle should the roadway on a curve with a 50m radius be banked to allow cars to negotiate the curve at 12 m/s even if t

kari74 [83]

Answer:

The road bank angle is 16.38⁰.

Explanation:

radius of curvature of the road, r = 50 m

allowable speed of car on the road, v = 12 m/s

The bank angle is calculated as;

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v^2}{gr} )$

where;

θ is the road bank angle

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v^2}{gr} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{12^2}{9.8 \times 50} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} ( 0.2939)\\\\\theta = 16.38 ^0$

Therefore, the road bank angle is 16.38⁰.

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of $3 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

$\sum F_{r} = ma$ (1)

Where $\sum F_{r}$ represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

$F_{x} + F{y} = ma$ (2)

The forces present in x are $F = 10 N$ and $f = 4 N$ (the friction force):

$F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N$

Notice that $f$ subtracts to $F$ since it is at the opposite direction.

$F_{x} = 6 N$

The forces present in y balance each other:

$F_{y} = 0$

Therefore:

$6 + 0 = ma$

$6 N = (2kg)a$ (3)

But $1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2}$ and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

$a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}$

$a = 3 m/s^{2}$

So the block has an acceleration of $a = 3 m/s^{2}$ .
