The density of a block of wood is 694 kg/m3. Its mass is 689 g. We tie the block to the bottom of a swimming pool using a single

strand of string so that the block is entirely submerged. Find the tension in the string.

Answer:

<em>The tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = density of the wood block/density of water = weight of the wood block/Upthrust of the wood block in water.

R.d = D₁/D₂ = W/U

W/U =D₁/D₂.................................. Equation 1

Where W = weight of the wood block, U = upthrust of the wood block in water, D₁ = Density of the wood block, D₂ = Density of water.

Making U the subject of the equation,

U = WD₂/D₁........................... Equation 2

Given: W =  mg = (689/1000)9.8 = 6.75 N,  D₁ = 694 kg/m³, D₂ = 1000 kg/m³.

Substituting these values into equation 2,

U = 6.75(694)/1000

U = 4684.5/1000

U = 4.685 N.

Note: Three forces act on the wood block in the pool. and they are

(i) The weight(W) acting downs

(ii) The upthrust (U) acting upwards,

(iii) The Tension (T) in the string, acting upwards.

Thus,

W = U+T

T = W - U ................................. Equation 3

Where W = 6.75 N, U = 4.685 N

T = 6.75 - 4.685

T = 2.065 N.

T = 2.065 N

<em>Thus the tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

postnew [5]

Answer:

A. The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.

Explanation:

We must remember the definition of work, which says that work is equal to the product of mass by the distance displaced. In this case, the athlete only does work when he lifts the weight from the ground to the point where he holds the weight suspended.

So when he's holding the weight, he doesn't do any work.

How do I find frictional force with force applied?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: Choose the normal force acting between the object and the ground. Let's assume a normal force of 250 N.

Determine the friction coefficient.

Multiply these values by each other: 250 N * 0.13 = 32.5 N .

You just found the force of friction!
