8. A 40.0kg block of metal is suspended from a scale and is immersed in water. The dimensions of the block are 12.0cm x 10.0cm x

Alja [10]

Answer:

a.1017.9N

b.1029.7N

c.T=380.6N

d.11.8 N

Explanation:

(a) The absolute pressure at the level of the top of the block is

Po=atmospheric pressure

g=gravity

h1=height

rh0=density of water

P1=Po+rho*g*h1

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.05)

1.0179*10^5Pa

at the level of the bottom of the block we have

P2=Po+rho*g*h2

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.17)

1.0297* 10^5 Pa

the downward force exerted on the top by the water is

Ftop=P*A== × = 1.0179* 10^5* 0.100

= 1017.9 N

and the upward force the water exerts on the bottom of the block , which is the buoyant force

Fbot== × = 1.0297 10^5 * 0.100 m

= 1029.7 N

(b) The scale reading is the tension, T, in the cord supporting the block.

if the block is at equilibrium, then sum of vertical forces

EFy=T+Fbot-Ftop-mg=0

T=mg+Ftop-Fbot

T=40*9.81-(1029.7-1017.9)

T=380.6N

(c) Archimedes principle state that, the buoyant force on the block equals the weight of the displaced water. Thus,

Buoyant force=rho *g*h

= = 1000* 0.100^2 * 0.120 m *9.80 m s=11.8 N

from the answer a Ftop-Fbot

1029.7-1017.9=11.8N, the same as the buoyant force

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?

tatiyna

Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).
