Answer:

-0.383 m

Explanation:

Diameter of cylinder = 4m  therefore  r = 2

height of cylinder ( H ) = 4 m

specific gravity = 0.6 ( assumed )

depth of immersion = 'h'

<u>Determine the metacentric height </u>

weight of cylinder in water = water displaced

= 0.6 * 1000 * πr^2* H = 1000 * πr^2* h

= 0.6 * 4 = h

∴ h = 2.4 m

hence the depth of center of buoyancy from free space = h /2 = 1.2 m

The metacentric height can be calculated using the formula below

Gm = Io / Vsubmerged  - BG

attached below is the remaining solution

A ball that has a mass of 0.25 kg spins in a circle at the end of a 1.6 m rope. the ball moves at a tangential speed of 12.2 m/s
NARA [144]

The centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.The direction of the centripetal force is always in the path of the center of the course.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

The force needed to move a body in a curved way is understood as centripetal force. This is a force that can be sensed from both the fixed frame and the spinning body's frame of concern.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass of A ball = 0.25 kg

r is the radius of circle= 1.6 m rope

v is the tangential speed = 12.2 m/s

\rm F_C is the centripetal force acting on the ball

The centripetal force is found as;

\rm F_C = \frac{mv^2}{r}  \\\\ F_C = \frac{0.25 \times (12.2)^2}{1.6}  \\\\ F_C=23.26\ N

Hence the centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.

A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.0 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

N_1=1 rev/s

angular velocity \omega =2\pi N_1=6.284 rad/s

Combined moment of inertia of stool,student and bricks =6\ kg.m^2

Now student pull off his hands so as to increase its speed to suppose N_2 rev/s

\omega _2=2\pi N_2  

After Pulling off hands so final moment of inertia is

I_2=2\ kg-m^2

Conserving angular momentum  as no external torque is applied

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

6\times 6.284=2\times \omega _2

\omega _2=18.85\ rad/s

N_2=3 rev/s
