Explanation The diagram for the motion of the object inside the fluid is given by figure 1. Refer fig 1. Write the equation of resultant force along y-direction. F B − F g = m a (I) Here, F B . is the buoyant force, F g is the gravity force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object. Write the expression for the buoyant force. F B = ρ f V o b g (II) Here, ρ f is the density of the fluid, V o b is the volume of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration. Write the expression for the gravity force. F g = ρ o b V o b g (III) Here, ρ o b is the density of the object material. Write the expression for the mass of the object. m = ρ o b V o b (IV) Rewrite the expression from equation (I) to express the density of fluid by using (II), (III) and (IV)

Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem …

2. Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.

2-3. Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay. (Answer: 0.40 cm)please I need to show all work step by step problems 2 and 3
