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

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

65.44 kg - 2.09408 kg = 63.3459 kg

Therefore, the required maximum mass is 63.3459 kg

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree

lina2011 [118]

A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
= 6.28 × √0.0673
= 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b) The vertical distance, the height is given by
h= 0.66 cos 12
h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
mgh = 1/2mv²
v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01
= 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
= 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
= 0.0304 J

Roughly to what height would a 5 kg stone need to be raised in order to have the same stored energy as the energy stored in the

hoa [83]

8.16m is the required height, a 5kg stone need to be raised.

One sort of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, which is equal to the product of the object's mass (m), the gravitational acceleration (g), and the object's height (h) as measured in relation to the ground's surface (the body).

We obtain the formula by considering the work done in raising a mass m through a height h.

Work in elevating mass m through height h is equal to force times distance.

The force must be greater than the mass m's weight, hence F = mg.

Work done = mgh = gravitational potential energy

Energy = Mass of the object × gravitational acceleration × height.

Mass of the stone = 5kg

Equating ;

∴ 400 J = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × height

Height = 8.16 m

Therefore, 8.16m is the required height.
