A student in an undergraduate physics lab is studying Archimede's principle of bouyancy. The student is given a brass cylinder a

nd, using a triple beam balance, finds the mass to be 3.21 kg. The density of this particular alloy of brass is 8.62 g/cm 3 . The student ties a massless string to one end of the cylinder and submerges it into a tank of water where there is an apparent reduction in the weight of the cylinder. With this information, calculate the volume, V , of the cylinder and the tension, T , in the string when it is submerged in the tank of water. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm 3 , and the acceleration due to gravity is gVolume of the cylinder: _____ cm3Tension in the string: ______ N

Answer:

V = 0.3724 m³

T = 27.836 N

Explanation:

Given :

m = 3.21 kg  , W= 3.21 * 9.81 m / s² = 31.4901 N

ρ = 8.62 g / cm ³  = 8620 kg / m³

V = m / ρ =  3.21 kg  /  8620 kg / m³

V = 0.3724 m³

when submerged the weight of brass cylinder is equal to the tension in string:

F =  (0.3724m³) * (1000 kg / m³) * (9.81 m/s²²) = 3.653 ≈ 3.65 N

T = 31.4901 N - 3.65 N  

T = 27.836 N

Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 1.80 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of
bixtya [17]

Answer:

W=970\ N

Explanation:

When two people carry a weight placing it on a very light board then we neglect the weight of the board and the board acts like a beam with two mass placed over it and two end point supports are here provided by men.

Then balancing the forces in the vertical direction, weight of the motor is:

W=350+620

W=970\ N

These men are able to carry the motor in equilibrium condition because they have placed the motor (considering it a point mass) at a position such that the moment due to the lifting forces are equal and opposite.

One of your fellow students comes up to you and asks the following question, "If an object is not moving, can it be accelerating
ipn [44]

Answer:

correct answer is option A (Yes, becuase acceleration depends on the rate of change of velocity and not the value of velocity itself.)

Explanation:

we know that from first equation of motion,

v=u+at

0r

a=\frac{v-u}{t}............(1)

here,

v-final velocity

u-initial velocity

a-acceleration

t-time

if a body is not moving it means if its initial velocity is zero (u=0) and if after time t it moves with velocity v then its acceleration will be given as

a=\frac{v}{t}...........(2)

From above equation it is clear that if an object is not moving, it can be accelerating because acceleration depends on rate of change of velocity and not the value of velocity itself.

In a simple harmonic motion, when the displacement from the equilibrium position is at its maximum,
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

When the displacement in the harmonic motion is maximum then kinetic energy at the maximum point is minimum and the potential energy is maximum at that point.  

So, when the displacement is maximum, spring force magnitude is also maximum because the force is proportional to the displacement and also the magnitude of the acceleration is maximum so, the net force is also maximum.
