Answer:
(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³
(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³
(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³
Explanation:
The given parameters of the perspex box are;
The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²
The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm
The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g
The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm
(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;
V = A × h₁
∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³
The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³
(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, , is given by the sum of the rock,
, and the water, V, is given as follows;
=
+ V
= A × h₂
∴ = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³
The total volume, = 120 cm³
The volume of the rock, =
- V
∴ = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³
The volume of the rock, = 20 cm³
(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)
∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³
Answer:
The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the conductor is 0.75 Newton
Explanation:
The parameters given in the question are;
The length of the straight segment of wire, L = 25 cm = 0.25 m
The current carried in the wire, I = 5 A
The orientation of the wire with the magnetic field = Perpendicular
The strength of the magnetic field in which the wire is located, B = 0.60 T
The magnetic force, 'F', is given by the following formula;
F = ·L×
= I·L·B·sin(θ)
Where;
= The current flowing, I
L = The length of the wire
= The magnetic field strength, B
θ = The angle of inclination of the conductor to the magnetic field
Where I = 5 A, L = 0.25 m, B = 0.60 T, and θ = 90°, we get;
F = 5 A × 0.25 m × 0.60 T × sin(90°) = 0.75 N
Therefore
The magnitude of the magnetic force, F = 0.75 N.
