Which part of the iceberg displaces water equal in weight to the buoyant force

Whoa ! Wait a second. The weight of the displaced water
is ALWAYS equal to the buoyant force.

In the case of a floating object ... whether it's an iceberg or
a dead fly ... the part that's under the surface is the part that's
displacing water.

The bit that's below the sea level = most of it = part of the reason why the Titanic was "holed below the water line" and thus doomed to sink. Most of a berg is below the water line.

Find the ratio of the new/old periods of a pendulum if the pendulum were transported from earth to the moon, where the accelerat

vichka [17]

The period of a pendulum is given by
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational acceleration.

We can write down the ratio between the period of the pendulum on the Moon and on Earth by using this formula, and we find:
$\frac{T_m}{T_e} = \frac{2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_m} } }{2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_e} } }= \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }$
where the labels m and e refer to "Moon" and "Earth".

Since the gravitational acceleration on Earth is $g_e = 9.81 m/s^2$ while on the Moon is $g_m=1.63 m/s^2$ , the ratio between the period on the Moon and on Earth is
$\frac{T_m}{T_e}= \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{9.81 m/s^2}{1.63 m/s^2} }=2.45$

The information on a can of soda indicates that the can contains 355 mL. The mass of a full can of soda is 0.369 kg, while an em

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}$

$\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}$

$s=0.9955$

Explanation:

Given:

volume of liquid content in the can, $v_l=0.355\ L=3.55\times 10^{-4}\ L$

mass of filled can, $m_f=0.369\ kg$

weight of empty can, $w_c=0.153\ N$

So, mass of the empty can:

$m_c=\frac{w_c}{g}$

$m_c=\frac{0.153}{9.81}$

$m_c=0.015596\ kg$

Hence the mass of liquid(soda):

$m_l=m_f-m_c$

$m_l=0.369-0.015596$

$m_l=0.3534\ kg$

Therefore the density of liquid soda:

$\rho=\frac{m_l}{v_l}$ (as density is given as mass per unit volume of the substance)

$\rho=\frac{0.3534}{3.55\times 10^{-4}}$

$\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}$

Specific weight of the liquid soda:

$\bar w=\frac{m_l.g}{v_l}=\rho.g$

$\bar w=995.5\times 9.81$

$\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}$

Specific gravity is the density of the substance to the density of water:

$s=\frac{\rho}{\rho_w}$

where:

$\rho_w=$ density of water

$s=\frac{995.5}{1000}$

$s=0.9955$

Why do some athletes engage in cross training

tigry1 [53]

Answer; Cross training enables your body to recuperate faster from injuries, in some cases because other exercises can directly improve the condition caused by your regular activity. For example, Achilles tendonitis, caused by overuse, can be improved by eccentric strengthening of the calf muscles.Explanation:
