A platinum sphere with radius 0.0165 m is totally immersed in mercury. Find the weight of the sphere, the buoyant force acting o

n the sphere, and the sphere's apparent weight. The densities of platinum and mercury are 2.14 × 10 4 kg/m3 and 1.36 × 10 4 kg/m3, respectively.

Answer:

Weight = 3.924 N

Bouyant force = 2.5N

Apperent weight= 1.424N

Explanation:

Radius of the sphere = 0.0165 m

Volume of sphere = (4πr³)/3

Volume = 4.189*(4.49*10^-6)

Volume = 1.88*10^-5

For the weight.

Mass = density* volume

Mass = 2.14*10^4 *(1.88*10^5)

Mass = 0.4 kg.

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 0.4*9.81

Weight = 3.924 N

For the buoyant force Fb

Fb = volume * density of fluid* acceleration

Fb = (1.88*10^5)*1.36 × 10^ 4*9.81

Fb = 2.5N

For Apperent weight

True weight - buoyant force = Apperent weight.

3.924- 2.5N= 1.424N

Determine the moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R about an axis that is tangent to the surface of
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

I = \frac{7}{5}MR^2

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the paralell axis theorem:

I= I_{cm} + Md^2

Where I_{cm} is the moment of inertia of the center of mass, M is the mass of the sphere and d is the distance between the center of mass and the axis for rotate, then:

I = \frac{2}{5}MR^2 +MR^2

I = \frac{7}{5}MR^2
