Chapter 14, Problem 042 A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.588 m and a face area of 4.19

m2 on top and bottom, and its density is 0.346 times that of fresh water. It is initially held fully submerged in fresh water, with its top face at the water surface. Then it is allowed to ascend gradually until it begins to float. How much work does the buoyant force do on the device during the ascent?

Answer:

The workdone is  W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the cylinder is  h = 0.588\ m

   The face Area is  A = 4.19 \ m^2

    The density of the cylinder is \rho  =  0.346 * \rho_w

     Where \rho_w is the density of freshwater which has a constant value

              \rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3

     

Now  

     Let the final height of the device under the water be  =  h_f

      Let  the initial volume underwater be = V_n

     Let the initial height under water be  = h_i

      Let the final volume under water be  = V_f

According to the rule of floatation

        The weight of the cylinder =  Upward thrust

This is mathematically represented as

          \rho_c g V_n = \rho_w gV_f

         \rho_c A h = \rho A h_f

So      \frac{0.346 \rho_w}{\rho_w} = \frac{h_f}{h}

   =>     \frac{h_f}{h_c}  = 0.346

Now the work done is mathematically represented as  

          W = \int\limits^{h_f}_{h} {\rho_w g A (-h)} \, dh

               =   \rho_w g A [\frac{h^2}{2} ] \left | h_f} \atop {h}} \right.

              = \frac{g A \rho}{2}  [h^2 - h_f^2]

              = \frac{g A \rho}{2} (h^2)  [1  - \frac{h_f^2}{h^2} ]

Substituting values

        W = \frac{(9.8 ) (4.19) (10^3)}{2} (0.588)^2 (1 - 0.346)

        W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J

a person does 100 joules of work in pulling back the string of a bow. what will be the initial speed of a 0.5 kg arrow when it i
eduard

If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

                 Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         100 J        = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg:    100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

 [ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

                                                100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

                                                 400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:     speed = √400 m/s

                                                                                20 m/s

                                                                    (about 44.7 mph)

Las condiciones iniciales de un gas son 3000 cm3
slava [35]

Answer:

T'=92.70°C

Explanation:

To find the temperature of the gas you use the equation for ideal gases:

PV=nRT

V: volume = 3000cm^3 = 3L

P: pressure = 1250mmHg; 1 mmHg = 0.001315 atm

n: number of moles

R: ideal gas constant = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K

T: temperature = 27°C = 300.15K

For the given values you firs calculate the number n of moles:

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(1520[0.001315atm])(3L)}{(0.082\frac{atm.L}{mol.K})(300.15K)}=0.200moles

this values of moles must conserve when the other parameter change. Hence, you have V'=2L and P'=3atm. The new temperature is given by:

T'=\frac{P'V'}{nR}=\frac{(3atm)(2L)}{(0.200\ moles)(0.082\frac{atm.L}{mol.K})}=365.85K=92.70\°C

hence, T'=92.70°C
