Get started for freeOne day when you come into physics lab you find several plastic hemispheres floating like boats in a tank of fresh water. Each lab group is challenged to determine the heaviest rock that can be placed in the bottom of a plastic boat without sinking it. You get one try. Sinking the boat gets you no points, and the maximum number of points goes to the group that can place the heaviest rock without sinking. You begin by measuring one of the hemispheres, finding that it has a mass and a diameter of . What is the mass of the heaviest rock that, in perfectly still water, won't sink the plastic boat?
Water flows from the pipe shown in FIGURE P14.60 with a speed of .
a. What is the water pressure as it exits into the air?
b. What is the height of the standing column of water?
Disk brakes, such as those in your car, operate by using pressurized oil to push outward on a piston. The piston, in turn, presses brake pads against a spinning rotor or wheel, as seen in. Consider a industrial grinding wheel, in diameter, spinning at . The brake pads are actuated by diameter pistons, and they contact the wheel an average distance from the axis. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake pad and the wheel is , what oil pressure is needed to stop the wheel in ?
What is the height of a water barometer at atmospheric
pressure?
A 2000 N force stretches a wire by 1 mm. A second wire of the same material is twice as long and has twice the diameter. How much force is needed to stretch it by 1 mm? Explain
