Determine the thrust that a boat with a volume of 1.2m³ receives when it is stranded at sea. The density of seawater is 1020kg /
puteri [66]

Answer:

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat is 11,995.2 N

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, the thrust received by an object immersed a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced;

The given parameter of the boat in sea water are;

The volume of the boat = 1.2 m³

The density of seawater = 1020 kg/m³

Density = Mass/Volume

Therefore, Mass = Density × Volume

The maximum volume of water that the boat displaces = 1.2 m³

The mass of the water displaced by the boat = (Density of seawater) × (Volume of seawater displaced)

∴ The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat = 1.2 m³ × 1020 kg/m³ = 1224 kg

The maximum possible mass of the water displaced by the boat, m = 1224 kg

Weight = Mass, m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The up-thrust on the boat = The weight of the seawater displaced

∴ The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = m × g = 1224 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 11,995.2 N

The maximum possible up-thrust on the boat = 11,995.2 N.

A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 51.9 N . When the rock is totally i
Luden [163]

Answer:

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

When the rock is immersed in unknown liquid the forces that act on it are shown as under

1) Tension T by the string

2) Weight W of the rock

3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B

For equilibrium we have T_{3}+B = W_{rock}

T_{3}+\rho _{Liquid}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\alpha)

When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have

T_{1}=W_{rock}....(\beta)

When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have

T_{2} + \rho _{water}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\gamma)

Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for \rho _{Liquid} we get

W_{rock}=51.9N\\31.6+1000\times V_{rock}\times g=51.9N\\\\11.4+\rho _{liquid}V_{rock}g=51.9N\\\\

Solving for density of liquid we get

\rho _{liquid}=\frac{51.9-11.4}{51.9-31.6}\times 1000

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}
