Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float. Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the submerged object. The buoyant force can be computed by
F b=V× y
where Fb is the buoyant force, V is the volume of the submerged object, and y is the specific weight of the fluid. If Fb is greater than or equal to the weight of the object, then it will float, otherwise it will sink.

- (Conversion) An object’s polar moment of inertia, J, represents its resistance to twisting. For a cylinder, this moment of inertia is given by this formula: J=mr2/2+m( l 2 +3r 2 )/12misthecylindersmass( kg).listhecylinderslength(m).risthecylindersradius(m). Using this formula, determine the units for the cylinder’s polar moment of inertia.arrow_forward(Thermodynamics) The work, W, performed by a single piston in an engine can be determined by this formula: W=Fd F is the force provided by the piston in Newtons. d is the distance the piston moves in meters. a. Determine the units of W by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for work listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the work performed by a piston that provides a force of 1000 N over a distance of 15 centimeters.arrow_forward(Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft).

For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward
- Q1/The pressure drop in pascals (Pa) for a fluid flowing in a pipe with a sudden decrease in diameter can be determined based on the loss of head equation given below: h = 24-11 2g Area A Area A Area A Where: V₂ is the velocity in position 2 (m/s), g: is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s², A₁ and A₂ are the cross-sectional areas of the tube in position 1 and 2 respectively. A==d² Where: d is the diameter (m). Write a program in a script file that calculates the head loss. When the script file is executed, it requests the user to input the velocity (V₂) in m/s and values of diameters (d, and d₂). The program displays the inputted value of v followed by a table with the values of diameters in the first and second columns and the corresponding values of h, in the third column. 2 2arrow_forwardThe electric flux density D at the point M (0,4,0) in the region about a uniform line charge of 1 nC/m lying along the z axis in free space is: Select one: a.
