A 2-ft-thick block constructed of wood (sg = 0.6) is submerged in oil (sg = 0.8), and has a 2-ft-thick aluminum (specific weight

= 168 lb/ft3) plate attached to the bottom as indicated in fig. p2.146. (a) determine completely the force required to hold the block in the position shown. (b) loca

Refer to the figure shown below.

Assume that
g = 32 ft/s², acceleration due to gravity
ρ = 62.4 lb/ft³, density of water
A = 1 ft², the surface area of each of the blocks.

Calculate the weight of the wooden block (sg = 0.6).
W₁ = (0.6*62.4 lb/ft³)*(2 ft³) = 74.88 lb
Calculare the weight of the aluminum block (sg = 0.8)
W₂ = (0.8*62.4)*(2) = 99.84 lb

Use the Archimedes Principle to calculate buoyant forces.
For the wooden block,
B₁ = (62.4 lb/ft²)*(2 ft³) = 124.8 lb
Also, for the aluminum block,
B₂ = 124.8 lb

Let F = the force required to hold the blocks in position. Then
-F + B₁ + B₂ = W₁ + W₂
-F + 249.6 = 174.72
F = 74.88 lb

The answer for Part (a):   
74.88 lb, acting downward.

Forces W₁, B₁ act at the center of mass of the wooden block, and W₂, B₂ act at the center of mass of the aluminum block.
Let x =  the location of the overall force on the two blocks, measured downward from the top of the wooden block, as shown in the figure.
Then
(W₁ - B₁)*(1.0) + (W₂ - B₂)*(3.0) = (W₁+W₂-B₁-B₂)*x
-49.92 + (-24.96)*(3) = -74.88x
-124.8 = -74.88x
x = 1.668 ft

The answer for part (b): 
The resultant force should be applied at 1.67 ft below the top of the wooden block.

a 2000 kg truck is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s. What velocity must a 1000 kg car have in order to have the same momentum a
Molodets [167]

The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N

Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.

Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car

60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car

Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s

So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

An object is located 51 millimeters from a diverging lens. The object has a height of 13 millimeters and the image height is 3.5
12345 [234]
You would get 13.7 
mi/51mm=3.5mm/13mm
by solving it you will B13.7mm

How do the echoes of the sounds of animals help them?
anastassius [24]
Animals like bats and whales use something called echolocation (sounds or echoes that travel to the other animal) these echoes can let one animal let another one know that danger is near or that food is nearby etc it's like a telephone line

I only need help on #15! Thanks!
Vanyuwa [196]

I would have to say that 'B' and 'D' are both correct.

Increasing the voltage that you're using to operate a circuit
causes the current in the circuit to increase.  But current is
just the number of electrons that are flowing through it.  So
right there, you have the increase in the number of charges.

Now, every electron that flows through the circuit gives up
some energy on the way.  So if there are more electrons
making the trip, then more energy has been put into the circuit.

Jessica, I absolutely love your printing.
I wish I could print so clearly.
