A team of engineering students is testing their newly designed 200 kg raft in the pool where the diving team practices. The raft

must hold a 730 kg steel cube with edges of length 45.0 cm without sinking. Assume the density of water in the pool is 1000 kg/m3.
The students use a crane to gently place the cube on the raft but accidentally place it off center. The cube remains on the raft for a few moments and then the raft tilts, causing the cube to slide off and sink to the bottom of the pool. The raft remains floating in the pool. In a coherent paragraph-length response, indicate whether the water level in the pool when the cube is on the bottom of the pool is higher than, lower than, or the same as when the cube is on the raft, and explain your reasoning. For both cases, assume that there is no motion of the water.

Answer:

The water level rises more when the cube is located above the raft before submerging.

Explanation:

These kinds of problems are based on the principle of Archimedes, who says that by immersing a body in a volume of water, the initial water level will be increased, raising the water level. That is, the height in the container with water will rise in level. The difference between the new volume and the initial volume of the water will be the volume of the submerged body.

Now we have two moments when the steel cube is held by the raft and when it is at the bottom of the pool.

When the cube is at the bottom of the water we know that the volume will increase, and we can calculate this volume using the volume of the cube.

Vc = 0.45*0.45*0.45 = 0.0911 [m^3]

Now when a body floats it is because a balance is established in the densities, the density of the body and the density of the water.

Ro_{H2O}=R_{c+r}\\where:\\Ro_{H2O}= water density = 1000 [kg/m^3]\\Ro_{c+r}= combined density cube + raft [kg/m^3]

Density is given by:

Ro = m/V

where:

m= mass [kg]

V = volume [m^3]

The buoyancy force can be calculated using the following equation:

F_{B}=W=Ro_{H20}*g*Vs\\W = (200+730)*9.81\\W=9123.3[N]\\\\9123=1000*9.81*Vs\\Vs = 0.93 [m^3]

Vs > Vc, What it means is that the combined volume of the raft and the cube is greater than that of the cube at the bottom of the pool. Therefore the water level rises more when the cube is located above the raft before submerging.

Why are you able to make someone on a swing have very large swings by only exerting very small forces on them?
Allisa [31]
Because almost all of the force is done by the weight of the person and the mechanism of the swing itself, when you push someone you only give them an increase in velocity, the acceleration comes from the weight at first and then from gravity when the person is coming down, which is why we bend our legs when coming down

The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km.
Contact [7]

Answer:

a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = 0.5\times 3\times 10^8=1.5\times 10^8\ m/s

Circumference of the colider is 7 km

P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{7000}{2\pi}\ m

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\frac{\left(1.5\times 10^8\right)^2}{\frac{7000}{2\pi}}\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration is 2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2

F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.0196\times 10^{13}\\\Rightarrow F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N

Force on protons is 3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N
