A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 51.9 N . When the rock is totally i

mmersed in water, the tension is 31.6 N . When the rock is totally immersed in an unknown liquid, the tension is 11.4 N. What is the Density of the unknown liquid. -When I looked at this problem, I though we needed to know the volume of the rock. Can someone show me how to do it without the volume of this rock?

Answer:

$\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}$

Explanation:

When the rock is immersed in unknown liquid the forces that act on it are shown as under

1) Tension T by the string

2) Weight W of the rock

3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B

For equilibrium we have $T_{3}+B = W_{rock}$

$T_{3}+\rho _{Liquid}V_{rock}g$ = $W_{rock}.....(\alpha)$

When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have

$T_{1}=W_{rock}....(\beta)$

When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have

$T_{2}$ + $\rho _{water}V_{rock}g$ = $W_{rock}.....(\gamma)$

Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for $\rho _{Liquid}$ we get

$W_{rock}=51.9N\\31.6+1000\times V_{rock}\times g=51.9N\\\\11.4+\rho _{liquid}V_{rock}g=51.9N\\\\$

Solving for density of liquid we get

$\rho _{liquid}=\frac{51.9-11.4}{51.9-31.6}\times 1000$

$\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}$

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves

astra-53 [7]

It involves electrons.

The cathode is the electrode where electron deficient ions move to.

While the anode is electrode where electron excess ions move to.

So the relationship between Cathode and Anode involves electrons.

A lead nucleus is spherical with a radius of about 7 ✕ 10⁻¹⁵ m. The nucleus contains 82 protons (and typically 126 neutrons). Be

Komok [63]

Answer:

∈= $3.1584x10^{26} \frac{V}{m}$

Explanation:

Using the Gauss Law to determine the electric field of the net flux at the surface of the nucleus

∈ $=\frac{P}{E_{o}}$

The P is the charge density and 'Eo' is the constant of permittivity in free space

to find P

$P=\frac{q}{V}$

$V=\frac{4}{3}*\pi*r^3$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi*(7x10^{-15})^3$

$V=2.932x10^{-14} m^3$

$P=\frac{82C}{2.932x10^{-14}m^3}=2.7965x10^{15} \frac{C}{m^3}$

So replacing

∈ $=\frac{2.7965x10^{15}\frac{C}{m^3}}{8.8542x10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{N*m^2}}$

∈= $3.1584x10^{26} \frac{V}{m}$

A +71 nC charge is positioned 1.9 m from a +42 nC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the midpoint of these c

viva [34]

Answer:

The net Electric field at the mid point is 289.19 N/C

Given:

Q = + 71 nC = $71\times 10^{- 9} C$

Q' = + 42 nC = $42\times 10^{- 9} C$

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E} = \frac{71\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E} = 708.03 N/C$

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

$\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C$

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

$\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}$

$\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C$

Your friend, Tim, is playing with his sled. He ties a rope to his sled and attaches it to Lar's snowmobile. Tim has a mass of 71

kykrilka [37]

The maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.

The given parameters:

Mass of the rope, m = 71 kg
Tension on the rope, T = 220 N
Coefficient of kinetic friction, = 0.1
Time of motion, t = 8 s

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

The net force on Tim is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

$T - \mu _k F_n = ma\\\\T - \mu _k F_n = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\T - \mu_k mg = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\t(\frac{T - \mu_k mg}{m} )= v\\\\8 (\frac{220 \ -\ 0.1 \times 71 \times 9.8}{71} ) =v \\\\ 16.95 \ m/s = v$

Thus, the maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.

In certain ranges of a piano keyboard, more than one string is tuned to the same note to provide extra loudness. For example, th

Georgia [21]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency in the string, f = 110 Hz

Tension, T = 602 N

Tension, T' = 564 N

We know that frequency in a string is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m/L}}$ , T is the tension in the string

i.e.

$f\propto\sqrt{T}$

$\dfrac{f}{f'}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{T'}}$ , f' is the another frequency

${f'}=f\times \sqrt{\dfrac{T'}{T}}$

${f'}=110\times \sqrt{\dfrac{564}{602}}$

f' =106.47 Hz

We need to find the beat frequency when the hammer strikes the two strings simultaneously. The difference in frequency is called its beat frequency as :

$f_b=|f-f'|$

$f_b=|110-106.47|$

$f_b=3.53\ beats/s$

So, the beat frequency when the hammer strikes the two strings simultaneously is 3.53 beats per second.
