Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).

Answer:

(a) Velocity at bottom is 1.85 m/s

(b) Volume flow rate is 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s.

Explanation:

(a)

Applying Bernoulli's Equation on both ends of the down sprue, with the assumptions that every point is at atmospheric pressure and the liquid metal at the pouring basin is at zero velocity. The equation then becomes:

V = √2gh

where,

V = velocity at bottom of down sprue

h = height of down sprue = 175 mm = 0.175 m

V = √2(9.8 m/s²)(0.175 m)

V = 1.85 m/s

(b)

The volume flow rate is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = (V)(A)

where,

V = velocity at bottom = 1.85 m/s

A = Area of bottom = 400 mm² = 0.0004 m²

Therefore,

Volume Flow Rate = (1.85 m/s)(0.0004 m²)

Volume Flow Rate = 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s = 740 cm³/s

(c)

The time required to fill the cavity is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = V/t

where,

V = Volume of mold Cavity = 0.001 m³

t = time required to fill the cavity = ?

Therefore,

t = V/Volume Flow Rate

t = 0.001 m³/7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s

t = 1.35 s

The density of ice is 0.93 g/cm3. what is the volume, in cm3, of a block of ice whose mass is 5.00 kg? remember to select an ans

serious [3.7K]

The Volume of the ice block is 5376.344 cm^3.

The density of a material is define as the mass per unit volume.

Here, the density of ice given is 0.93 g/cm^3

Mass of the ice block given is 5 kg or 5000 g

Now calculate the volume of the ice block

density=mass/volume

0.93=5000/Volume

Volume =5376.344 cm^3

Therefore the volume of ice block is 5376.344 cm^3

A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0.8 volt was

Julli [10]

Answer:

C. Technician B

Explanation:

Excessive Galvanic activity:

To check for excessive galvanic activity, voltmeter is used to check the coolant. If the voltmeter is giving a reading greater than 0.5 V, there is excessive galvanic activity. Excessive galvanic activity is solved by flushing the coolant fluid from engine and refiling it.

Electrolysis problem:

When the system is not properly ground, the cooling system accepts stray current and the coolant becomes an electrolyte which might eat up the radiator. To test for excessive electrolysis, start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories, if the reading is more than 0.5 V, there is electrolysis problem. Ground wires and connections should be checked at this point to stop stray current.

In our case, the first reading is 0.2 V(engine turned off) which is normal and there is no excessive galvanic activity. This means that Technician A is not correct. The second reading is 0.8 V when the engine and all electrical accessories are turned on. This reading is greater than 0.5 V which means there is an electrolysis problem. This means that Technician B is correct and ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired.
