A spring with spring constant 33N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.8-cm-diameter, 1.5kg metal cylinder is attached to its l

ower end. The cylinder is held so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed, then a tank of water is placed underneath with the surface of the water just touching the bottom of the cylinder. When released, the cylinder will oscillate a few times but, damped by the water, quickly reach an equilibrium position.When in equilibrium, what length of the cylinder is submerged?y=?m

Answer:

0.423m

Explanation:

Conversion to metric unit

d = 4.8 cm = 0.048m

Let water density be \who_w = 1000 kg/m^3

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2

Let x (m) be the length that the spring is stretched in equilibrium, x is also the length of the cylinder that is submerged in water since originally at a non-stretching position, the cylinder barely touches the water surface.

Now that the system is in equilibrium, the spring force and buoyancy force must equal to the gravity force of the cylinder. We have the following force equation:

F_s + F_b = W

Where F_s = kxN is the spring force, F_b = W_w = m_wg = \rho_w V_s g is the buoyancy force, which equals to the weight W_w of the water displaced by the submerged portion of the cylinder, which is the product of water density \rho_w, submerged volume V_s and gravitational constant g. W = mg is the weight of the metal cylinder.

kx + \rho_w V_s g = mg

The submerged volume would be the product of cross-section area and the submerged length x

V_s = Ax = \pi(d/2)^2x

Plug that into our force equation and we have

kx + \rho_w \pi(d/2)^2x g = mg

x(k + \rho_w g \pi d^2/4) = mg

x = \frac{m}{(k/g) + (\rho_w\pi d^2/4)} = \frac{1.5}{(33/9.8) + (100*\pi * 0.048^2/4)} = 0.423 m

a wire with mass per unit length 75 g/m runs horizontally at right angles to a uniform horizontal 0.12 T magnetic field. what am
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The amount of current that must flow through the wire for it to be suspended against gravity by magnetic force = 6.125 A

Explanation:

Force on a wire carrying current in an electric field is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

For this question,

The magnetic force must match the weight of the wire.

F = mg

mg = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

(m/L)g = (B)(I) sin θ

Mass per unit length = 75 g/m = 0.075 kg/m

B = magnetic field = 0.12 T

I = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

θ = angle between wire's current direction and magnetic field = 90°

0.075 × 9.8 = 0.12 × I sin 90°

I = 0.075 × 9.8/0.12 = 6.125 A
