Answer to Problem 1FC

The correct option is, “(b) All the three containers have the same pressure at the bottom”.

Explanation of Solution

According to the expression to calculate the pressure at a depth, P2=P1+ρgh , the pressure at the bottom of the container that is P2 directly depends on the height of the fluid present above it. According to the given question, the height of all three containers is the same; therefore, the pressure at the bottom in all the three containers will be the same.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is, “(b) All the three containers have the same pressure at the bottom”.

Moon Knight, from both comics and the show of the same name, has crescent shaped daggers he throws at enemies. To throw a crescent dagger he applies a force of 0.918 N at an angle of 75.0° relative to the dagger’s center of mass at a point 0.0690 m away from the dagger’s center of mass. If the crescent dagger has a moment of inertia of 2.57⋅10^−5 kg⋅m^2 , what is the angular acceleration of a crescent dagger as it is thrown?
Because you are taking physics, your friend asks you to explain the detection of gravity waves that was made by LIGO in early 2016. (See the section that discusses LIGO.) To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below. This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…
