A 10.0-kg block of metal measuring 12.0 cm by 10.0 cm by 10.0 cm is suspended from a scale and immersed in water as shown in Figure P15.24b. The 12.0-cm dimension is vertical, and the top of the block is 5.00 cm below the surface of the water. (a) What are the magnitudes of the forces acting on the top and on the bottom of the block due to the surrounding water? (b) What is the reading of the spring scale? (c) Show that the buoyant force equals the difference between the forces at the top and bottom of the block.
Water enters a smooth, horizontal tube with a speed of 2.0 m/s and emerges out of the tube with a speed of 8.0 m/s. Each end of the tube has a different cross-sectional radius. Find the ratio of the entrance radius to the exit radius.
Mercury is poured into a U-tube as shown in Figure P15.17a. The left arm of the tube has cross-sectional area A1 of 10.0 cm2, and the right arm has a cross-sectional area A2 of 5.00 cm2. One hundred grams of water are then poured into the right arm as shown in Figure P15.17b. (a) Determine the length of the water column in the right arm of the U-tube. (b) Given that the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3, what distance h does the mercury rise in the left arm?
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
Two thin-walled drinking glasses having equal base areas but different shapes, with very different cross-sectional areas above the base, are filled to the same level with water. According to the expression P = P0 + gh, the pressure is the same at the bottom of both glasses. In view of this equality, why does one weigh more than the other?
The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.00 N. When the object is suspended from a spring scale and submerged in water, the scale reads 3.50 N (Fig. P15.24). Find the density of the object. Figure P15.24 Problems 24 and 25.
What fraction of ice is submerged when it floats in freshwater, given the density of water 0°C is very close to 1000 kg/m3?
A U-tube open at both ends is partially filled with water (Fig. P15.67a). Oil having a density 750 kg/m3 is then poured into the right arm and forms a column L = 5.00 cm high (Fig. P15.67b). (a) Determine the difference h in the heights of the two liquid surfaces. (b) The right arm is then shielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top of the left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the same height (Fig. P15.67c). Determine the speed of the air being blown across the left arm. Take the density of air as constant at 1.20 kg/m3.
An incompressible, nonviscous fluid is initially at rest in the vertical portion of the pipe shown in Figure P15.61a, where L = 2.00 m. When the valve is opened, the fluid flows into the horizontal section of the pipe. What is the fluids speed when all the fluid is in the horizontal section as shown in Figure P15.61b? Assume the cross-sectional area of the entire pipe is constant. Figure P15.61
A table-tennis ball has a diameter of 3.80 cm and average density of 0.084 0 g/cm3. What force is required to hold it completely submerged under water?
(a) What is the density of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.00% of her volume above the surface? This could be measured by placing her in a tank with marks on the side to measure how much water she displaces when floating and when held under water (briefly). (b) What percent of her volume is above the surface when she floats in seawater?
A large storage tank with an open top is filled to a height h0. The tank is punctured at a height h above the bottom of the tank (Fig. P15.39). Find an expression for how far from the tank the exiting stream lands. Figure P15.39
