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. Find an expression for the force of the liquid on the bottom of the aquarium.

b. Find an expression for the force of the liquid on the front window of the aquarium.

Geologists place tiltmeters on the sides of volcanoes to measure the displacement of the surface as magma moves inside the volcano. Although most tiltmeters today are electronic, the traditional tiltmeter, used for decades, consisted of two or more water-filled metal cans placed some distance apart and connected by a hose. FIGURE P14.45shows two such cans, each having a window to measure the water height. Suppose the cans are placed so that the water level in both is initially at the 5.0cmmark. A week later, the water level in can 2is at the 6.5cmmark.

A. Did can 2move up or down relative to can 1? By what distance?

B. Where is the water level now in can 1?

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 inFIGURECP14.74. Consider a 15kgindustrial grinding wheel, 26cmin diameter, spinning at 900rpm. The brake pads are actuated by 2.0-cm-diameter pistons, and they contact the wheel an average distance 12cmfrom the axis. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake pad and the wheel is 0.60, what oil pressure is needed to stop the wheel in 5.0s5.0s?

In FIGURE Q14.5, is pA larger than, smaller than, or equal to pB? Explain

A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 10.0cmdeep. How far upward from its initial position does the mercury in the right arm rise?
