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

What is the definition of Mutualism
noname [10]
Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.

If you want to increase the gravitational force between two objects; would you rather double the mass of one object or halve the
Step2247 [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity from Newtonian theory for which it is necessary to

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational universal constant

M = Mass of Earth

m = mass of Object

x = Distance between center of mass of the objects.

From this equation we can observe that the Force is inversely proportional to the squared distance between the two objects. The greater the distance, the lower the force of gravity and vice versa.

F \propto \frac{1}{R^2}

If you want to increase the force of gravity, you need to reduce the distance of the two. Therefore the correct option is B. Talk to the distance between them.

What scale can I use for two force 0.8 Newtons and 0.9 Newtons? Someone please help
kirill [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

To plot the given forces of 0.8 N and 0.9 N. It is convenient to take

0.1 N as 1 unit in Graph

For example, 1 unit in the graph is  1 cm

then take 0.1 N equivalent to 1 cm

0.8 N\equiv 8\ \text{units in graph}\\\\0.9\equiv 9\ \text{units in graph}

Please help me with this...<br>And Show all steps correctly​
ipn [44]

Answer:

4 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s

Acceleration (a) = –8m/s²

Time (t) = 2 s

Displacement (s) =?

The displacement of the object can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (10 × 2) + (½ × –8 × 2²)

s = 20 + (–4 × 4)

s = 20 + (–16)

s = 20 – 16

s = 4 m

Thus, the displacement of the object is 4 m.

What is the force on a 1000 kg elevator that is free falling at 9.8 m/s/s?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

= (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

= 9,800 newtons
