A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th

at the balance reads 4.3 N. What is the density of the block?

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

= 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= $\frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}$

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

At the race track, one race car starts its engine with a resulting intensity level of 104.0 dB at point P. Then 6 more cars star

dem82 [27]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to sound intensity. The most common approach to sound intensity measurement is to use the decibel scale:

$\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Where,

$I_0 = 1*10^{-12}$ is a reference intensity. It is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz.

I = Sound intensity

Our values are given by,

$\beta = 104dB$

$\#Autos = 7$

For each auto the intensity would be,

$104 = 10log\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}$

$10.4= log_{10} (\frac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$10^{10.4}*10^{-12}=I$

$I = 0.02511W/m^2$

Therefore the sound intesity for the 7 autos is

$I= 7* 0.02511$

$I = 0.1748W/m^2$

The sound level for the 7 cars in dB is

$\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{0.1748}{1*10^{-12}})$

$\beta (dB) = 112.42dB$

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
