A spring scale calibrated in kilograms is used to determine the density of a rock specimen. The reading on the spring scale is 0

.45 kg when the specimen is suspended in air and 0.36 kg when the specimen is fully submerged in water. If the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, the density of the rock specimen is_________.

Answer:

5000 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Here. we are asked to calculate the density of the rock specimen.

we proceed as follows;

mass of water displaced is calculated by finding the difference between the actual and apparent masses

This has a value of 0.45kg - 0.36kg = 0.09kg

The rock and water that is displaced have exactly the same volume and thus their densities is the same. This makes the ratio of their masses to be the same

Ratio of masses is

0.45 / 0.09 = 5.0

Here we can see that the mass of the rock is five times the mass of the water so it must be five times denser

Thus, since the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 , the density of rock is 5000 kg/m^3

What tool is used to determine the mass of an object?

melisa1 [442]

A Beam balance (or Beam scale) is a device to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, weight balances, or simply scales, balances, or balance scales. You can also use a graduated cylinder and determine the water displaced and figure out the mass of an object this way!

Even if we do not send people to far-flung planets, we need to send some information about ourselves and our planet.

One thing I think we must put in the capsule is our pictures. Very necessary, so that other inhabitants would see how we look like.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.37 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.

Explanation:

The wheel rotates 3.37 times a second that means wheel complete 3.37 revolutions in a second. Therefore, the angular speed ω of the wheel is given as follows:

$\omega =3.37rev/s \times(\frac{2\pi rad}{1s} )\\\\=21.174rad/s$

Use the relation of angular speed with tangential speed to find the tangential speed of the tack.

The tangential speed v of the tack is given by following expression

v = ω r

Here, r is the distance to the tack from axis of rotation.

Substitute 21.174 rad/s for ω, and 0.387 m for r in the above equation to solve for v.

v = 21.174 × 0.387

v = 8.19m/s

Thus, The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.

A double nozzle lying in a horizontal x-y plane discharges water into the atmosphere at a rate of 0.5 m3 /s. Assume the water sp

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The force is $F= 46.25kN$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

At Equilibrium the summation of the of force on the vertical axis is zero

i.e $\sum F_y =0$

=> $F_y sin \ 60^o =\rho Q (v_2 -v_1 cos \ 30^o)$

$v_2$ is the is the speed of water at the nozzle which can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_2 = \frac{R}{A_n}$

substituting $0.5m^3/s$ for R and $\frac{\pi}{4}(12*\frac{1m}{100} )^2$ for $A_n$

$v_2 = \frac{0.5}{\frac{\pi}{4} * (12*\frac{1}{100} )^2 }$

$= 44.23 m/s$

$v_1$ is the is the speed of water at the pipe which can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_1 = \frac{R}{A_p}$

substituting $0.5m^3/s$ for R and $\frac{\pi}{4}(30*\frac{1m}{100} )^2$ for $A_p$

$v_1 = \frac{0.5}{\frac{\pi}{4} * (30*\frac{1}{100} )^2 }$

$= 7.07 m/s$

$\rho$ is he density of water with value $\rho =1000 kg /m^3$

Substituting values into the equation above

$F_ysin 60^o = 1000 (0.5) (44.23 -7.07 cos 30)$

$= 21.99kN$

At Equilibrium the summation of the of force on the horizontal axis is zero

i.e $\sum F_x =0$

=> $F_y sin \ 30^o =\rho Q (v_2 -v_1 sin \ 30^o)$

Since The speed at both A and B nozzle are the same then $v_2$ remains the same

Substituting values

$F_x sin30^o =1000 (0.5) (44.23 - 7.07*sin30)$

=> $F_x = 40.69kN$

Hence the force acting on the flange bolts required to hold the nozzle in place is

$F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}$

$= \sqrt{40.69 ^2 + 21.99^2}$

$F= 46.25kN$
