A platinum sphere with radius 1.65 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.

<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}}

\texttt{ }

Summary of newtons 2nd law 5 sentences
salantis [7]

Newton's first law of motion predicts the action of objects for which all existing forces are balanced. The first law, also referred to as the law of inertia, states that if the forces acting upon an object are balanced, the acceleration of that object will be 0 m/s/s. Objects at equilibrium will not accelerate. According to the law, an object will only accelerate if there is an unbalanced force acting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will  change its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction. All forces retaining to this law are related to inbalance

Two physics students shoot a water-bottle rocket from a 1 m tall stand. They calculate that rocket will travel with the given fo
Kitty [74]

Answer:

2 secs; 65 feet

Explanation:

The function guiding the water bottle is given as:

f(x) = -16t² + 64t + 1

The bottle will reach maximum height when velocity, df/dt (velocity is the first derivative of distance) = 0.

Therefore:

df/dt = 0 = -32t + 64

=> 32t = 64

t = 64/32 = 2 seconds

This is the time it will take to reach the maximum height.

To find this height, we insert t = 2 into the function f(x):

f = -16(2)² + 64(2) + 1

f = -(16 * 4) + 128 + 1

f = -64 + 128 + 1

f = 65 ft

Its maximum height is 65 ft.
