An iron anchor weighs 250 pounds in air and has a weight density of 480 lbs/ft3. If it is immersed in sea water that has a weigh

t density of 64 lbs/ft3, how much force would be required to lift it while it is immersed?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

weight of anchor $W=250\ pounds$

weight density $\rho =480\ lbs/ft^3$

volume of anchor $V=\frac{250}{480}=0.520\ ft^3$

density of sea water $\rho _s=64\ lbs/ft^3$

buoyant force on anchor when immersed in sea water $=\rho _s\times V=33.28 lbs$

Force required to lift the anchor=Weight-Buoyancy

$F=250-33.28=216.72\ lbs$

Answer:

Explanation:

Weight in air = true weight = 250 pounds

density of iron , d = 480 lbs/ft³

density of sea water, d' = 64 lbs/ft³

Volume of iron = mass / density of iron

V = 250 / 480 = 0.521 ft³

Force required to lift = weight of iron in water = Apparent weight of iron

Weight in water = true weight - buoyant force

Weight in water = 250 x g - volume x density of water x g

Weight in water = 250 g - 0.521 x 64 x g

Weight in water = 216.67 g

Weight in water = 216.67 pounds

Thus, the force required to lift the iron is 216.67 pounds.

Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes th

melomori [17]

The units of G must be C. m³ / ( kg s² )

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows:

$\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }$

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

To find unit of Gravitational Constant can be carried out in the following way:

$F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}$

${[N]}= G\frac{{[kg]}{[kg]}}{{[m^2]}}$

${[kg ~ m / s^2]}= G \frac{{[kg^2]}}{{[m^2]}}$

$G = \frac{{[kg ~ m / s^2]}{[m^2]}} {{[kg^2]} }$

$G = \frac{{[kg ~ m^3 / s^2]}} {{[kg^2]} }$

$G = \frac{{[m^3 / s^2]}} {{[kg]} }$

$\boxed {G = \frac{{[m^3]}} {{[kg ~ s^2]} }}$

The unit of G must be $\large {\boxed {\frac{m^3} {kg ~ s^2 }}}$

If 27 J of work are needed to stretch a spring from 15 cm to 21 cm and 45 J are needed to stretch it from 21 cm to 27 cm, what i

kupik [55]

Answer:

9 cm.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretch the spring from $15 cm$ to $21 cm$ will be , $E_{1}=27J$

The energy used for stretch the spring from $21 cm$ to $27 cm$ will be , $E_{2}=45J$

using the energy of spring formula ,we find that

$27 = \frac{1}{2}K((21-L^{2})-(15-L^{2}))$

$45 = \frac{1}{2}K((27-L^{2})-(21-L^{2}))$

Dividing both the equation will get,

$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2}}{(27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2}}\\5((21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2})=3((27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2})\\3(729 - 54L + L^{2}- 441 + 42L - L^{2} ) = 5(441 - 42L + L^{2} - 225 + 30L - L^{2} )\\3(288 - 12L) = 5(216 - 12L)\\24L = 216\\L = 9 cm$

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of

spin [16.1K]

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where :

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy, at the top

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

$U_f$ is the final potential energy, at the bottom

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

$mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f$

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 2 m$ is the initial height

$h_f=1.50 m$ is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

$K_i = 0$

Therefore we can solve the equation for $K_f$ , the final kinetic energy of the ball:

$K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J$
