Complete Question:

Two objects, T and B, have identical size and shape and have uniform density. They are carefully placed in a container filled with a liquid. Both objects float in equilibrium. Less of object T is submerged than of object B, which floats, fully submerged, closer to the bottom of the container. Which of the following statements is true?

  • Object T has a greater density than object B.
  • Object B has a greater density than object T.
  • Both objects have the same density.  

Answer:

Object B has a greater density than object T

Explanation:

Any object partially or completely submerged in a liquid, experiments an upward force, equal to the weight of  the volume displaced by the liquid. This force is called the buoyant force, and can be expressed as follows:

Fb = ρl * Vs*g

where ρl is the density of the liquid, and Vs is the submerged volume.

This force must be compared with the weight of the object, which is always downward, and can be expressed as follows:

Fg = ρb* Vb * g

where ρb, is the density of the object, and Vb is the total volume of the object, regardless which portion is submerged.

For object B, as it floats fully submerged, this means that both forces are equal in magnitude:

Fg = Fb⇒ ρb* Vb * g = ρl * Vs*g

As Vb = Vs (the object is fully submerged) this means that ρb =ρl.

For object T, as it floats partially submerged, this means that Fg < Fb:

Fg= ρt* Vt * g < Fb = ρl * Vs*g.

Now, we know that ρb =ρl, so we can replace in the equation above:

ρT* Vt * g < ρb*Vs*g

Simplifying common terms, and replacing Vs by KVt (where K is the fraction of the total volume which is submerged, i.e. K<1), we have:

ρt*Vt < ρb*K*Vt ⇒ ρt / ρb < K < 1 ⇒ ρt < ρb ⇒ ρb > ρt

Plz answer the question
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Ray A = Incidence ray

Ray B = Reflected ray

Explanation:

From the law of reflection,

Normal: This is the line that makes an angle of 90° with the reflecting surface.

Ray A is the incidence ray: This is the ray that srikes the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the normal and the incidence ray is called the incidence angle

Ray B is the reflected ray: This is the ray leaves the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the reflected ray and the normal is called reflected angle

In designing a backyard water fountain, a gardener wants to stream of water to exit from the bottom of one tub and land in a sec
mote1985 [20]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of movement description.

From the definition we know that the speed of a body can be described as a function of gravity and height

V = \sqrt{2gh}

V = \sqrt{2*9.8*0.15}

V = 1.714m/s

Then applying the kinematic equation of displacement, the height can be written as

H = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Re-arrange to find t,

t = \sqrt{2\frac{h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{2\frac{0.5}{9.8}}

t = 0.3194s

Thus the calculation of the displacement would be subject to

x = vt

x =1.714*0.3194

x = 0.547m

Therefore the required distance must be 0.547m

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 20 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, M = 2 kg

Density of water, \rho_{w} = 1000\ kg/m^{3}

Density of the object, \rho_{ob} = 500\kg/m^{3}

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10\ m/s^{2}

Now,

From the fig.1:

'N' represents the Bouyant force and T represents tension in the rope.

Suppose, the volume of the block be V:

V = \frac{M}{\rho_{ob}}              (1)

Also, we know that Bouyant force is given by:

N = \rho_{w}Vg

Using eqn (1):

N = \rho_{w}\frac{M}{\rho_{ob}}g

N = 1000\frac{2}{500}\times 10 = 40\ N

From the fig.1:

N = Mg + T

40 = 2(10) + T

T = 40 - 20 = 20 N

N = \rho_{w}Vg
