A hollow plastic sphere is held below the surface of a fresh-water lake by a cord anchored to the bottom of the lake. The sphere

has a volume of 0.650 cubic meters and the tension in the cord is 900 N. a) Calculate the buoyant force exerted by the water on the sphere. b) what is the mass of the sphere? c) the cord breaks and the sphere rises to the surface. When the sphere comes to rest, what fraction of its volume will be submerged?

Answer: a) B = 6811N

              b) m = 603.2kg

              c) 86.8%

Explanation: <em>Buoyant force</em> is a force a fluid exerts on a submerged object.

It can be calculated as:

B=\rho_{fluid}.V_{obj}.g

where:

\rho_{fluid} is density of the fluid the object is in;

V_{obj} is volume of the object;

g is acceleration due to gravity, is constant and equals 9.8m/s²

a) For the hollow plastic sphere, density of water is 1000kg/m³:

B=10^{3}.0.695.9.8

B = 6811N

b) Anchored to the bottom, the forces acting on the sphere are <u>Buoyant</u>, <u>Tension</u> and <u>Force due to gravity</u>:

B = T + F_{g}

B = T + mg

mg = B - T

m=\frac{B - T}{g}

Calculating:

m=\frac{6811 - 900}{9.8}

m = 603.2kg

c) When the shpere comes to rest on the surface of the water, there are only <u>buoyant</u> <u>and</u> <u>gravity</u> acting on it:

B = m.g

\rho_{w}.V_{sub}.g=m.g

V_{sub}=\frac{m}{\rho_{w}}

V_{sub}=\frac{603.2}{1000}

V_{sub} = 0.6032m³

Fraction of the submerged volume is:

\frac{V_{sub}}{V_{obj}} = \frac{0.6932}{0.695} = 0.868

A hailstone traveling with a velocity of 43 meters/second comes to a virtual stop 0.28 seconds after hitting water. What is the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

                            =       zero            - (43 m/s)

                            =          -43 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (-43 m/sec) / (0.28 sec)

                                          =  (-43 / 0.28)  (m/sec) / sec

                                          =        153.57...  m/s²

                                          =        1.5...  x 10²  m/s²  .

A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

             T =  F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is   T_e= 4000 * 0.02

                                   = 80Nm

 To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m

  So the Required Torque is T_R = 300 *0.3

                                                     =90Nm

Now since   T_e < T_R it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the
tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
