<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

<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>

$w' = w - F$

$w' = 3.95 - 2.51$

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

The speed of a projectile when it reaches its maximum height is 0.58 times its speed when it is at half its maximum height. What

Ne4ueva [31]

Speed of the projectile at its maximum height is only along horizontal direction

so at highest point

$v_1 = v_x$

now when he is at half of the maximum height the speed will be in x and y direction both

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_y^2 + v_x^2}$

here it is given that

$v_1 = 0.58 v_2$

$v_x = 0.58\sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$2.97 v_x^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2$

$1.97 v_x^2 = v_y^2$

also we know that

$v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g \frac{H}{2}$

here we know that maximum height is given as

$H = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2g}$

$v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g\frac{v_{iy}^2}{4g}$

$v_y^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}$

now from above

$1.97 v_x^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}$

$1.98 v_x = v_{iy}$

also we know that angle of projection is

$tan\theta = \frac{v_{iy}}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{1.98v_x}{v_x}$

so angle is

$\theta = tan^{-1} 1.98$

$\theta = 63.3 degree$

An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of

Elan Coil [88]

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

$m=\frac{V}{v}$

$m=m_f+m_g$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$ (taking the value of $v_g$ and $v_g$ at 200°C )

$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$

Now quality of vapor

$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$

$=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$

$=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$

= 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor $v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$

$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$

= 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$

Now power rating of the resistor

$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$

$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$

= 1.51 kW
