Chapter 9: Problem 42

An object weighing \(300 \mathrm{~N}\) in air is immersed in water after being tied to a string connected to a balance. The scale now reads \(265 \mathrm{~N}\). Immersed in oil, the object appears to weigh \(275 \mathrm{~N}\). Find (a) the density of the object and (b) the density of the oil.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The density of the object is approximately \(8577.038 kg/m^3\) and the density of the oil is approximately \(699.159 kg/m^3\).

Step by step solution

01

Find Effective Weights

First, determine the effective weights of the object in different fluids by subtracting the weight of the object in the fluid from the weight of the object in air. The effective weight in water is \(265 N - 300 N = - 35 N\) and in oil is \(275 N - 300 N = - 25 N\). The negative sign indicates that the buoyant force is acting upwards.
02

Finding the Volume

The volume of the object can be found using the effective weight in water and the density of water, \(1000 kg/m^3\). Use the formula of buoyant force, \(F_b = \rho_{fluid} \cdot V \cdot g\), where \(F_b = -35 N\), \(g = 9.8 m/s^2\), and solve for \(V\): \(V = - F_b / (\rho_{fluid}\cdot g) = -(-35N) / (1000 kg/m^3 \cdot 9.8 m/s^2) = 0.00357 m^3 \).
03

Finding the Density of the Object

Next, find the density of the object, denoted as \(蟻_{object}\), using the formula \(蟻 = m/v\), where \(m\) is the mass and \(v\) is the volume. As weight \(W = m \cdot g\), the mass \(m = W/g = 300N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 30.612 kg\). Substituting the values into the density formula gives: \(蟻_{object} = m / v = 30.612 kg / 0.00357 m^3 = 8577.038 kg/m^3\).
04

Finding the Density of the Oil

Considering the buoyancy in oil, the density of the oil can be calculated by rearranging the formula of buoyant force to get \(蟻_{fluid} = - F_b / (V \cdot g)\). Substituting the known values gives: \(\rho_{oil} = -(-25N) / (0.00357 m^3 \cdot 9.8 m/s^2) = 699.159 kg/m^3\).

In about 1657 , Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P9.89). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then "with greatest difficulty," with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing. Find the force \(F\) required to pull the thin-walled evacuated hemispheres apart in terms of \(R\), the radius of the hemispheres, \(P\) the pressure inside the hemispheres, and atmospheric pressure \(P_{0}\).

Water flowing through a garden hose of diameter \(2.74 \mathrm{~cm}\) fills a \(25.0\) - L bucket in \(1.50 \mathrm{~min}\). (a) What is the speed of the water leaving the end of the hose? (b) A nozzle is now attached to the end of the hose. If the nozzle diameter is one-third the diameter of the hose, what is the speed of the water leaving the nozzle?

Suppose two worlds, each having mass \(M\) and radius \(R\), coalesce into a single world. Due to gravitational contraction, the combined world has a radius of only \(\frac{3}{4} R\). What is the average density of the combined world as a multiple of \(\rho_{0}\), the average density of the original two worlds?

On October 21, 2001, Ian Ashpole of the United Kingdom achieved a record altitude of \(3.35 \mathrm{~km}\) (11 \(000 \mathrm{ft}\) ) powered by 600 toy balloons filled with helium. Each filled balloon had a radius of about \(0.50 \mathrm{~m}\) and an estimated mass of \(0.30 \mathrm{~kg}\). (a) Estimate the total buoyant force on the 600 balloons. (b) Estimate the net upward force on all 600 balloons. (c) Ashpole parachuted to Earth after the balloons began to burst at the high altitude and the system lost buoyancy. Why did the balloons burst?

A sample of an unknown material appears to weigh \(300 \mathrm{~N}\) in air and \(200 \mathrm{~N}\) when immersed in alcohol of specific gravity \(0.700\). What are (a) the volume and (b) the density of the material?
