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

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the north end to the south end.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Magnetic field lines from a bar magnet form lines that are closed. The direction of magnetic field is taken to be outward from the North pole of the magnet and in to the South pole of the magnet.
  • A magnetic field refers to  the area surrounding a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects. These lines are spread out of the north end of the magnet.
  • The magnetic field lines resemble a bubble.

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.
