How to solve Part B?
The figure for the question shows a hydrometer immersed in a liquid.
The hydrometer is designed for water and solutions with a density
lower than that of water.
data:
⚫ The maximum possible sinking of the hydrometer: h=120 mm.
⚫ Mass of the hydrometer: 100 grams
• The diameter d= 6 mm.
1. Which level (A or B) is suitable for water and which level (A or B) is
suitable for the solution? Justify your answer.
2. Find the range of densities of the solutions that can be measured
with the help of the hydrometer in the figure
A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of ρb = 0.39 kg/m3. The density of the air is ρa = 1.23 kg/m3. The volume of the balloon is Vb = 0.045 m3. The balloon floats upward with acceleration a.
a.) Express the acceleration of the balloon a in terms of the variables given in the problem statement, assuming upwards is the positive direction.
b.) Calculate the numerical value of a in m/s2.
