as the two triangle ADE and ABC are similar therefore we can say that
differentiate above Equation w.r.t time we get
Answer:
= 5/9
Explanation:
This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.
B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid
let's write the translational equilibrium condition
B - W = 0
let's use the definition of density
ρ_body = m / V_body
m = ρ_body V_body
W = ρ_body V_body g
we substitute
ρ_liquid g V_liquid = ρ_body g V_body
In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar
V = A h_bogy
Thus
we substitute
5/9 =
