A certain piece of metal (density 9.45 grams per cubic centimeter) has the shape of a hockey puck with a diameter of 13 cm and a

height of 2.8 cm. If this puck is placed into a bowl of mercury (density 13.6 grams per cubic centimeter), it floats. How deep below the surface of the mercury is the bottom of the metal puck?

Answer:

0.0195 m

Explanation:

\rho _{p} = density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³

d_{p} = diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m

h_{p} = height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

\rho _{m} = density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³

d = depth of puck below surface of mercury

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck

Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck

\rho _{m} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} d ) g = \rho _{p} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} h_{p} ) g\\\rho _{m} ( d ) = \rho _{p} ( h_{p} )\\(13600) d = (9450) (0.028)\\d = 0.0195 m

A student's calculation for the work done on an object is shown.
MissTica

The statement that describes the error in the work is that the distance must be converted to meters (m).

<h3>FORMULA FOR WORK:</h3>

Work can be calculated by using the following formula:

W = F × d

Where;

  • W = work done
  • F = force (N)
  • d = distance (m)

According to this question, the force is given as 140N and the distance is given as 30cm. The force is calculated as follows:

F = 140N × 30cm = 4200J

This calculation is erroneous because the unit of distance should be converted from cm to meters.
