(C) Heavier than water

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given

Diameter of the rod is uniform

The road is floating in a liquid.

Let the area of cross-section of the rod = A

Let the weight density of water = γw

Let the weight density of liquid = γl

Let the density of water = ρw

g is the gravitational force

So, weight of rod = density of the rod X volume

Wrod = ρw X g X ( A X 2L) + 2 ρwg (A X L)

Wrod = 4ρwgAL

Wrod = 4γwAL

We can see that the weight of the rod is more than the density of water. So, in water, the rod will sink.

If the rod is floating on the liquid then the liquid is heavier than the water.

Therefore, The liquid is heavier than the water.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Explanation:

frequency of sound waves = 688 Hz

wavelength = 344 / 688 = .5 m

The problem is based on interference of sound waves

For the observer , path difference of sound waves reaching his ear

= 3.5 - 3.00

.5 m

= wavelength

Path difference is equal to wavelength so there will be constructive interference and hence louder sound will be heard by the listener than normal sound as sound waves interfere constructively.

In a physics lab, students take a long piece of string and cut it into two unequal pieces. One piece is used to suspend a large
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

(a) The aspect of the upper string supporting the weight and the applied force

Student 1 is correct because the upper string is the source of support of the large weight and the force applied to the short string reacts at the support of the long string

(b) The aspect of Student's (2) reasoning that is correct is that the shorter piece of string will always break first, however, the statement is only true for sudden pull due to the increased force experienced by the shorter string from a more rapid change in momentum

(c) The aspect of Student 1's statement that is incorrect is the that the upper string will always break first

The aspect of Student 2's statement that is incorrect is the that the shorter piece of string will always break first

(d) A string will break when subject to a force equivalent to its breaking force. The force experienced by the string increases as the rate of pull (suddenness) increases and the suddenness increases inversely with the length of the string, as such the shorter lower string will break first from a sudden pull before the force of the pull is completely transmitted to the upper string. Whereby the lower string is slowly pulled, the force is evenly transmitted to the upper string which is then taking up the load of the weight and the applied force together and is likely to break first
