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

Identify the number of and types of elements in this schematic diagram
Nataly_w [17]
-- The long line and short line close together at the left side
       of the diagram represent a single-cell battery.
It's the only one in this diagram. 
It's a device that stores chemical energy and delivers it on demand.

-- The zig-zag lines with circles around them represent light bulbs.
There are three of them in this diagram. 
They are devices used to produce light by dissipating electrical energy.

-- The zig-zag lines without circles, at the top of the diagram,
       represent resistors.
There are two of them in this diagram.
They are devices used to change or control electrical parameters
   within a circuit by dissipating electrical energy.

-- The short straight line between two small circles at the bottom
       of the diagram  represents a switch.
There is only one switch in this circuit.
It's a device used to easily and quickly start or stop the flow of current
    past a certain point in a circuit.

In this circuit ...

-- When the switch is closed (as drawn), the light bulb nearest the battery
glows brightest, the light bulb in the middle glows less bright, and the light
bulb on the right side glows dimmest of all.

-- When the switch is open, the light bulb nearest the battery glows, and
neither of the other two light bulbs glows at all.

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
