Chapter 14: Q. 8 (page 383)

Blocks a, b, and c in FIGURE Q14.7 have the same density. This

Short Answer

Expert verified

The figure given with 3 objects with same density is submerged in liquid.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The figure given with 3 objects with same density is submerged in liquid.

02

Step 2. Explanation

Buoyant force acting on a mass floating in a liquid depends on density or object, submerged volume of object and gravity.

F = Vsρg ....................(1)

Where

F = buoyant force

Vs = submerged volume

ρ = density of liquid

g = gravity

We know that the density of the blocks are same so volume of block will be

V = Mass / Density

Given Ma = Mb = 50 g and Mc=40g

So, the expression is given as

Va = Vc > Vb

From the equation (1) we understand that Buoyant force depends on the Volume submerged if density of liquid is same.

Fa = Fc > Fb.

A 6.0 m * 12.0 m swimming pool slopes linearly from a 1.0 m depth at one end to a 3.0 m depth at the other. What is the mass of water in the pool?

Postural hypotension is the occurrence of low systolic blood pressure when a person stands up too quickly from a reclining position. A brain blood pressure lower than 90mmof Hgcan cause fainting or lightheadedness. In a healthy adult, the automatic constriction and expansion of blood vessels keep the brain blood pressure constant while posture is changing, but disease or aging can weaken this response. If the blood pressure in your brain is 118mmof Hgwhile lying down, what would it be when you stand up if this automatic response failed? Assume your brain is 40cmfrom your heart and the density of blood is1060kg/m3.

A research submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window 8.0 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up to 1.0 * 106 N. What is the submarine’s maximum
safe depth? The pressure inside the submarine is maintained at 1.0 atm.
