What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 50-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Styrofoam has a density of 32kg/m³.

What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 50-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water

Answer: the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter d = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius r = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 m

Styrofoam density = 32kg/m³

Volume of sphere V = 4/3 πr³.

we substitute

V = 4/3 π(0.25)³

V = 0.06544 m³

Mass of sphere M = Volume × Density

we substitute

Mass of sphere M = 0.06544 m³ × 32kg/m³

Mass of Sphere M = 2.09408 kg

Mass of the water it displace will be;

volume × density

we know that density of water = 1000 kg/m³

so

Mass of the water it displace = 0.06544 m³ × 1000kg/m³

= 65.44 kg

Now the difference between mass of water and mass of the Styrofoam will be the amount of mass that the sphere can support

so

65.44 kg - 2.09408 kg = 63.3459 kg

Therefore, the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

Calculate the amount of momentum of an object with a mass of 10 kg travelling al a
irina [24]

Answer:

50kg.m/s

Explanation:

In order to find momentum you must use the formula P=mv

p= momentum

m=mass

v= velocity

so in other words, momentum= mass times velocity

or in this case, momentum= 10 times 5  :)

Water vapor enters a turbine operating at steady state at 500°C, 40 bar, with a velocity of 200 m/s, and expands adiabatically t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

W = 5701 KW

Explanation:

From the question let inlet be labelled as point 1 and exit as point 2, for the fluid steam, we can get the following;

Inlet (1): P1 = 40 bar ; T1 = 500°C and V1 = 200 m/s

Exit(2) : At saturated vapour; P2 = 0.8 bar and V2 = 150 m/s

Volumetric flow rate = 15 m^(3)/s

Now, to solve this question, we assume constant average values, steeady flow and adiabatic flow.

Specific volume for steam at P2 = 0.8 bar in the saturated vapour state can be gotten from saturated steam tables(find a sample of the table attached to this answer).

So from the table,

v2 = 2.087 m^(3)/kg

Now, mass flow rate (m) = (AV) /v

Where AV is the volumetric flow rate.

Thus, the mass flow rate at exit could be calculated as;

m = 15/(2.087) = 7.17 kg/s

We also know energy equation could be defined as;

Q-W = m[(h1 - h2) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)} + g(Z2 - Z1)]

Since the flow is adiabatic, potential energy can be taken to be zero. Therefore, we get;

-W = m[(h2 - h1) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)}

From, table 2, i attached , at P1 = 40 bar and T1 = 500°C; specific enthalpy was calculated to be h1 = 3445.3 KJ/Kg

Likewise, at P2 = 0.8 bar; from the table, we get specific enthalpy as;

h2 = 2665.8 KJ/Kg

So we now calculate power developed;

W = - 7.17 [(2665.8 - 3445.3) + {(150^(2) - 200^(2))/2000 = 5701KW

Since the sign is not negative but positive, it means that the power is developed from the system.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

D) 735 J(oules)

Explanation:

Work is defined as force * distance

Force is defined as mass * acceleration

Given a mass of 15 kg and a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s² since the box is being lifted up, the force being applied to the box is 15 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 147 N

Since the distance is 5 meters, the work done is 147 N * 5 m = 735 N/m = 735 J, making D the correct answer.

A ball initially at rest rolls down a hill with an acceleration of 3.3 m/s2. If it accelerates for 7.5 s, how far will it move?
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 3.3 m/s^2, we need to calculate displacement when time = 7.5 seconds.

Substituting

  s=0*7.5+\frac{1}{2} *3.3*7.5^2\\ \\ =92.8125 meter

  So ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.
