A block of wood has a mass of 3.67 kg and a density of 656 kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead (1.13 × 104 kg/m³) so that it will float in water with 0.824 of its volume submerged. What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to (a) the top of the wood and (b) the bottom of the wood? (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units
Buoyancy In the buoyancy lab, you find that the buoyant force is equal to 2.50 N. Given that the density of water is 998 kg/m³, find the volume of the object in cm³. You may use g = 9.8 m/s² 256 m³ 2505 cm³ 256 cm³ 0.0256 cm³ 0.2505 cm³
An ideal incompressible fluid flows through a pipe of diameter 5.9 cm at a speed of 4.0 m/s. What volume of water passes any single location in the pipe over 3.9 s? Give your answer in m³.
Pure water flows through a horizontal artery. At the wide end its speed is 40cm/s and the difference in pressure between the two ends is 1.0x102 Pa. What is the speed of the water at the narrow end in cm/s? Take the density of the blood to be that of pure water.
A 0.50 kg frog sits on a 0.20 kg ball floating in water with exactly half its volume submerged. The volume of the beach ball is ____ m3 (note units).
A scientist is calculating the density of an ore sample. The scien- tist measures that the ore sample weighs 22.4 N in air. When the sample is suspended by a thin light cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 14.2 N. What is the density of the ore sample that the scientist calculates. You can assume that any buoyant force from air is negligible.
A scale reads 100 N when a piece of aluminum is hanging from it. What does it read when it is lowered so that the aluminum is submerged in water? The mass density of aluminum is 2700 kg/m^3. Be careful, you are given mass density instead of weight density, and we are using SI units.i need answer in problem sigfig
Archimedes’ Principle states that the upward or buoyant force on an object within a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. For a partially submerged object, you can obtain information about the relative densities of the floating object and the fluid by observing how much of the object is above and below the surface. You can also determine the size of a floating object if you know the amount that is above the surface and the relative densities. You can see the top of a floating iceberg (see figure). The density of ocean water is 1.03 × 103 kilograms per cubic meter, and that of ice is 0.92 × 103 kilograms per cubic meter. What percent of the total iceberg is below the surface?
A liquid-filled tube called a manometer can be used to measure the pressure inside a container by comparing it to the atmospheric pressure and measuring the height of the liquid. Such a device (filled with water) is shown in the figure, measuring the pressure inside a balloon filled with an unknown gas. The water level on the side of the manometer which is open to the air is 22.3 cm higher than on the side connected to the balloon. a) Find the gauge pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa. Recall the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. b) Find the absolute pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa.
(a) If the density of an object is exactly equal to the density of a fluid, the object will (1) float, (2) sink, (3) stay at any height in the fluid, as long as it is totally immersed. (b) A cube 8.5 cm on each side has a mass of 0.65 kg. Will the cube float or sink in water? Prove your answer.
A plastic cube (density 973 kg/m3) has side length 1.90 cm. You drop the cube into a jar of maple syrup (density 1131 kg/m³) -you don't know why- and observe that it floats in the syrup . What percentage of the plastic cube is submerged? [Answer as a percentage with 3 sig digits, but do not enter '%' with your answer]
