Referring to Figure , prove that the buoyant force on the cylinder is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced (Archimedes’ principle). You may assume that the buoyant force is and that the ends of the cylinder have equal areas A. Note that the volume of the cylinder (and that of the fluid it displaces) equals .
The outward force on one end of an air tank was calculated in Example 11.2. How is this force balanced? (The tank does not accelerate, so the force must be balanced.)?
Some miners wish to remove water from a mine shaft. A pipe is lowered to the water 90m below, and negative pressure is applied to raise the water. (a) Calculate the pressure needed to raise the water. (b) What is unreasonable about this pressure? (c) What is unreasonable about the premise?
Calculate the force on the slide wire in Figure\[{\rm{11}}{\rm{.29}}\]if it is\[{\rm{3}}{\rm{.50 cm}}\]long and the fluid is ethyl alcohol.
