The stone will take 2.89 seconds to hit the water.

The time required by the stone to hit the water is calculated by the second equaiton of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

41=0×t+\frac{1}{2}×9.81×t²

t=2.89 seconds

The time taken by the stone to reach the surface of the water from the bridge is \boxed{2.89\,{\text{s}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The height of the bridge from the surface of the river is 41\,{\text{m}}.

Concept:

As the stone is dropped from the bridge, the stone falls freely under the action of the acceleration due to gravity of the Earth. The stone follows the second equation of motion during its fall from the bridge.

The expression for the second equation of motion for a body falling freely under the gravity is written as.

s = {v_i}t + \dfrac{1}{2}g{t^2}  

Here, s is the height covered by the stone, {v_i} is the initial speed of the stone, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time taken.

Since the stone is dropped from the bridge, the initial speed of the stone will be zero and the acceleration due to gravity of the Earth is 9.8\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}.

Substitute the values in above expression.

\begin{aligned}41&= \left( {0 \times t} \right) + \left( {\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times {t^2}} \right)\\t&= \sqrt {\frac{{82}}{{9.8}}} \,{\text{s}}\\&\approx 2.89\,{\text{s}}\\\end{aligned}  

Thus, the time taken by the stone to reach the surface of the water from the bridge is \boxed{2.89\,{\text{s}}}.

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

<u>So, mass of the empty can:</u>

m_c=\frac{w_c}{g}

m_c=\frac{0.153}{9.81}

m_c=0.015596\ kg

<u>Hence the mass of liquid(soda):</u>

m_l=m_f-m_c

m_l=0.369-0.015596

m_l=0.3534\ kg

<u>Therefore the density of liquid soda:</u>

\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}

<u>Specific weight of the liquid soda:</u>

\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

DerKrebs [107]
<span>The centripetal force for such an arrangement can be found through the equation Fc = mv^2/r where m is the mass of the rotating object, v is that object's velocity, and r is the radius of rotation. In this case, we know that the maximum Fc that can be tolerated by the cord is 64N. Thus we set the equation up and solve for the value of v for which Fc = 64.
   64 = 0.4*(v^2)/1
 64/0.4 = 160 =
v^2 v = sqrt(160) = 12.65 m/s

   At any speed faster than 12.65 m/s, the cord will break.</span>
