The ship floats in water due to the buoyancy Fb that is given by the equation:
Fb=ρgV, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g=9.81 m/s² is the acceleration of the force of gravity and V is volume of the displaced liquid.
The density of fresh water is ρ₁=1000 kg/m³.
The density of salt water is in average ρ₂=1025 kg/m³.
To compare the volumes of liquids that are displaced by the ship we can take the ratio of buoyancy of salt water Fb₂ and the buoyancy of fresh water Fb₁.
The gravity force of the ship Fg=mg, where m is the mass of the ship and g=9.81 m/s², is equal to the force of buoyancy Fb₁ and Fb₂ because the mass of the ship doesn't change:
Fg=Fb₁ and Fg=Fb₂. This means Fb₁=Fb₂.
Now we can write:
Fb₂/Fb₁=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), since Fb₁=Fb₂, they cancel out:
1/1=1=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), g also cancels out:
(ρ₂V₂)/(ρ₁V₁)=1, now we can input ρ₁=1000 kg/m³ and ρ₂=1025 kg/m³
(1025V₂)/(1000V₁)=1
1.025(V₂/V₁)=1
V₂/V₁=1/1.025=0.9756, we multiply by V₁
V₂=0.9756V₁
Volume of salt water V₂ displaced by the ship is smaller than the volume of sweet water V₁ because the force of buoyancy of salt water is greater than the force of fresh water because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Answer:
Explanation:
For an electric force, F the formula:
F = kQq/r^2
Given:
r2 = 1/2 × r1
F1 × r1 = k
F1 × r1 = F2 × r2
F2 = (F1 × r1^2)/(0.5 × r1)^2
= (F1 × r1^2)/0.25r1^2
= 4 × F1.
