A wooden block of dimensions of 6 cm ⨯ 6 cm ⨯ 15 cm floats with the long axis oriented horizontally and the of the square faces

schepotkina [342]

Explanation:

(a) Formula to calculate volume of the submerged wooden block is as follows.

$V_{sub} = l \times w \times d$

It is given data of the wooden block is as follows.

depth = 7.96 cm, length (l) = 6 cm

width (w) = 4 cm,

So, we will calculate the volume of the submerged wooden block as follows.

$V_{sub} = l \times w \times d$

= $6 \times 6 \times 7.96$

= 286.56 $cm^{3}$

Hence, the submerged volume of the block is 286.56 $cm^{3}$ .

(b) Expression for the buoyant force acting on the wooden block is as follows.

$F_{B} = \rho_{w} g V_{sub}$

And, expression for the force of gravity of the wooden block is as follows.

$F_{g} = m_{b}g$

As the wooden block is floating on the water hence, buoyant force is balanced by the weight of the block.

$F_{g} = F_{B}$

Hence, mass of the wooden block will be calculated as follows.

$F_{g} = F_{B}$

$m_{b}g = \rho_{w}gV_{sub}$

$m_{b} = \rho_{w}V_{sub}$

= $997 kg/m^{3} \times 286.56 cm^{3}$

= $997 kg/m^{3} \times 286.56 \times 10^{-6} m^{3}$

= 0.02857 kg

Therefore, mass of the given block is 0.02857 kg

(c) Expression for the density of the block is as follows.

$\rho_{b} = \frac{m_{b}}{V_{b}}$

Now, expression for the total volume of the wooden block is as follows.

$V_{b} = l \times w \times h$

Hence, density of the given block is as follows.

$\rho_{b} = \frac{m_{b}}{V_{b}}$

= $\frac{m_{b}}{lwh}$

= $\frac{0.02857 kg}{4 \times 4 \times 15}$

= $1.19 \times 10^{-4} kg/cm^{3}$

Therefore, density of the given block is $1.19 \times 10^{-4} kg/cm^{3}$ .

The range of human hearing is roughly from twenty hertz to twentykilohertz. Based on these limits and a value of 305 m/s for the

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

1. $L_s=0.0076\ m$

2. $L_l=7.62\ m$

Explanation:

Given that

f₁= 20 Hz

f₂= 20 KHz

C= 305 m/s

For open pie organ :

$L=\dfrac{C}{2f}$

<u>Shortest length :</u><u> </u>

$L_s=\dfrac{C}{2f_2}$

$L_s=\dfrac{305}{2\times 20000}$

$L_s=0.0076\ m$

<u>Longest length : </u>

$L_l=\dfrac{C}{2f_1}$

$L_l=\dfrac{305}{2\times 20}$

$L_l=7.62\ m$
