- The density of stainless steel is about 8000 kg/m3 (eight times denser than water), but a razor blade can float on water, even with some added weights. The water is at 20oC. The blade shown in the photograph is 4.3 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. For simplicity, the center cut-out area of the razor blade has been taped so that only the outer edges of the blade contribute to surface tension effects. Because the razor blade has sharp corners, the contact angle is not relevant. Rather, the limiting case is when the water contacts the blade vertically as sketched (effective contact angle along the edge of the blade is 180°). (a) Considering surface tension alone, estimate (in grams) how much total mass (razor blade + weights placed on top of it) can be supported. (b) Refine your analysis by considering that the razor blade pushes the water down, and thus hydrostatic pressure effects are also present.

- What is an expression for the buoyancy force acting on an object of volume V and density ρo submerged in a fluid of density ρ? If we are looking at the free-body diagram of an object immersed in a fluid, under what conditions can one neglect the buoyancy force in comparison to other forces acting on the object?arrow_forwardConsider a stack of six pancakes. Each pancake is made of 1/4 cup (approximately 60 mL) of batter, and the density of batter is 1 g/cm3. Consider the pancake at the bottom of the stack. What is the total weight of pancakes sitting on top of it? Express your answer in kilograms, but without entering the unit. This is not a lot of weight. Assuming that pancakes have an elastic modulus of 20 kPa, that the area of each pancake is identical (approximately 80 ), and that the stack of pancakes has a height of 55mm, compute how much the single pancake at the bottom of the stack is compressed by the weight of the pancakes on top of it. This is a very small compression, so instead you place a 4 kg weight on the pancakes. Now you see that the stack noticeably compresses. Consider the stack of pancakes as one aggregate unit with a surface area of approximately 80 cm2. What is the stress on the pancakes? Express your answer in Pascals, but without including the unit.

If the dry mass of the bathyscaphe is 800 kg and its volume is 15 m³, the ballast tanks must contain what volume of seawater for the bathyscaphe to begin to sink? LFarrow_forward
