Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the
lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}  ( l = 26 feet = constant )

\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}

We have,

y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)

(i) From equation (1),

26^2 = x^2 + 10^2

676=x^2 + 100

576 = x^2

\implies x = 24\text{ feet}

From equation (X),

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}

(ii) From equation (X),

\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x

Thus, for different value of x the value of \frac{dy}{dt} would be different.

(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,

So, the value of y will always a positive number.

Thus, from equation (X),

The rate would always be a positive.

(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.

i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases

y = decreases ⇒ y = increases

(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,

So, from equation (X),

\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}
