An anchor with a density of 700 lb/ft3 tied to a rope is submerged in water (but is not touching the bottom). It has a volume of
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Density of anchor \rho _a=700\ lb/ft^3

Volume of anchor V=2.8\ ft^3

Density of water \rho _w=62.4\ lb\ft^3

Buoyancy force on submerged object is given by

F_B=\rho _W\times V\times g

F_B=62.4\times 2.8\times 32.2=5625.98\approx 5626\ approx lbf

I have a question regarding friction in rolling without slipping.
Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

They probably put "rolls without slipping" in there to indicate that there is no loss in friction; or that the friction is constant throughout the movement of the disk. So it's more of a contingency part of the explanation of the problem.

(Remember how earlier on in Physics lessons, we see "ignore friction" written into problems; it just removes the "What about [ ]?" question for anyone who might ask.)

In this case, you can't ignore friction because the disk wouldn't roll without it.

As far as friction producing a torque... I would say that friction is a result of the torque in this case. And because the point of contact is, presumably, the ground, the friction is tangential to the disk. Meaning the friction is linear and has no angular component.

(You could probably argue that by Newton's 3rd Law there should be some opposing torque, but I think that's outside of the scope of this problem.)

Hopefully this helps clear up the misunderstanding for you.

Describe how a bowling pin will react to the unbalanced force of a bowling ball.
Jlenok [28]
Because the forces are not balanced the pin will fall down and go backwards and the force of the bowling ball will keep going after acting upon the non active pin

A pump lifts 400 kg of water per hour a height of 4.5 m .
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Power = Work / Time

P = 400 kg * 9.8 m/s * 4.5 m / 3600 sec = 4.9 J/s = 4.9 Watts

Also, 4.9 Watts / (746 Watts / Horsepower) = .0066 Hp
