A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

, and from the bottom hangs a 10 gram lead weight. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3. What fraction of the bobber's volume is submerged, as a percent of the total volume

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

F_L = Vpg

F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass  will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

F_B=V'pg

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}

Now Total volume of bobble is

\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\

=\large\boxed{4.52 \%}

Levart [38]

Answer:

the rate that the energy of a system is transformed

Explanation:

We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.

Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.

Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The multiplication factor is 72.136 cm. This will give you the unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch

Explanation:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

28.4 inches = x cm

Xcm= (28.4 inches × 2.54cm)/1 inch

X= 72.136

When using a simple machine, the benefit of using less force to lift an object is offset by the need to push for a larger ____ s
WITCHER [35]

When using a simple machine, the benefit of using less force to lift an object is offset by the need to push for a larger distance so that energy can be conserved.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A simple machine utilized for completing the works easily. So in order for easy and quick completion of works, these machines may increase the amount of force acting on the object by increasing the velocity or speed of the machine. As velocity term is present so the machines may also change the directions of force acting on the object of concern to do the work soon just like pulley.

Also other way of completing the work with less input force requirement is by increasing the distance or area of action for the force acting on it. As work done is a measure of acting force on a region multiplied with the displacement occurred with that force.

It can be known that force seems to be inversely proportional to distance or area of action. So if we need to use less force to lift an object, it is offset by the need to push for a larger distance in order to conserve the energy.
