According to Archimedes’ principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. Use this

principle to solve the following problems. (a) A wooden cylinder 30.0 cm high floats vertically in a tub of water (density 1:00 g/cm3 ). The top of the cylinder is 13.5 cm above the surface of the liquid. What is the density of the wood? (b) The same cylinder floats vertically in a liquid of unknown density. The top of the cylinder is 18.9 cm above the surface of the liquid. What is the liquid density? (c) Explain why knowing the length and width of the wooden objects is unnecessary in solving Parts (a) and (b).

Answer:

Part a)

\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3

Part b)

\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that when cylinder float in the water then weight of the cylinder is counter balanced by the buoyancy force

So here we know

buoyancy force is given as

F_b = \rho_w V_{sub} g

F_b = (1 g/cm^3) (30 - 13.5) Ag

F_b = 16.5 Ag

Now we know that the weight of the cylinder is given as

W = \rho (30 cm)A g

now we have

\rho (30 cm) A g = 16.5 A g

\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3

Part b)

When the same cylinder is floating in other liquid then we will have

F_b = \rho_L (30 - 18.9 )A g

so we have

\rho_L (11.1) Ag = 0.55(30) Ag

\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

A garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end ,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\

Therefore the flow is:

V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]

A car, starting from the origin, travels
sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.
