Answer:

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34  

Explanation:

Data given:

Density of the rod = 5/9 of the density of the water.

Let's denote density of Water with w

And density of rod with r

So,

r = 5/9 x w

Required:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water.

Let's denote total length of the rod with L

and length of the rod above with = y

Let's denote the density of rod = r

And density of water = w

So, the required is:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water = y/L

y/L = ?

In order to find this, we first need to find out the all type of forces acting upon the rod.

We know that, a body will come to equilibrium if the net torque acting upon a body is zero.

As, we know

F = ma

Density = m/v

m = Density x volume

Volume = Area x length = X ( L-y)

So, let's say X is the area of the cross section of the rod, so the forces acting upon it are:

F = mg

F = (Density x volume) x g

g = gravitational acceleration

F1 = X(L-y) x w x g (Force on the length of the rod submerged in water)

where,

X (L-y) = volume

w = density of water.

Another force acting upon it is:

F = mg

F2 =  X x L x r x g

Now, the torques acting upon the body:

T1 + T2 = 0

F1 ( y + (\frac{L-y}{2}) ) g sinФ - F2 x (\frac{L}{2}) x gsinФ = 0

plug in the  equations of F1 and F2 into the above equation and after simplification, we get:

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . r

where, w is the density of water and r is the density of rod.

As we know that,

r = 5/9 x w

So,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . 5/9 x w

Hence,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) = \frac{5L^{2} }{9}

\frac{L^{2} - y^{2}  }{L^{2} } = \frac{5}{9}

Taking L^{2} common and solving for \frac{y}{L}, we will get

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, y_{m} = 8.4\ cm

Wavelength, \lambda = 5.3\ cm

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega

where

\omega = 2\pi f = angular speed of the particle

Thus

v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

v = f\lambda

Now,

The ratio is given by:

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95

Identify characteristics of energy from the Sun. Check all that apply.
-BARSIC- [3]

Almost all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun

The energy in fossil fuels originally came from the Sun

Plants convert the energy

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth and even the whole of the solar system. The sun drives and powers all external processes on earth. It produces its energy from the nuclear fusion of lighter nuclei into heavier ones.

  • Almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. A few component of the energy on the surface comes from the internal heat engine.
  • The energy of fossil fuels originally came from the sun. This is because, plants stores the energy in the process of photosynthesis. When they die and the energy is not released, the energy is stored as fossil fuels.
  • Plants in the process of photosynthesis converts the energy. Here green plants combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

A spaceship travels 360km in one hour. Express its speed in m/s
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Spaceship speed is 36000 km/h

So, in 1 hour spaceship travel 36000 km

Or we can say that in 60×60 second spaceship travel 36000 km

Therefore in 1 sec spaceship travel

=

= 10 km/s
