Answer:

Explanation:

submerged volume of pump = 40 x 12⁻³ ft³

density of oil = .9 x 62.4 lb ft⁻³ ( specific gravity x density of water )

mass of displaced oil = 40 x 12⁻³ x  .9 x 62.4 lb

= 1.3 lb

buoyant force = 1.3 lb

weight of pump = 14.6 lb

extra force needed for balancing pump by spring

= 14.6 - 1.3

= 13.3 lb .

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?
kozerog [31]
They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.

Why the bulb of thermometer in cylindrical
crimeas [40]
I'm not accurately sure if you're asking for why the bulb of a thermometer is in a cylindrical shape. So let me continue. The shape of the which is thin and cylindrical in the shape is the increase of the effect of mercury in the tube to rise and fall depending on the contact temperature.
