A block of wood floats in fresh water with two-thirds of its volume V submerged and in oil with 0.90V submerged. (a) Find the density of the wood. (b) Find the density of the oil.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Density of wood is670kgm3

(b) Density of oil is740kgm3

Step by step solution

01

The given data

i) Volume of wooden block in freshwater is23V

ii) Volume of wooden block in oil is0.9V

iii) Density of fresh water,role="math" l=1000kg/m3

02

Understanding the concept of buoyancy

We can write the force of buoyancy in terms of density of the liquid, gravitational constant, and volume of the liquid displaced. The weight of the wooden block is balanced by this force of buoyancy. We can find the density of the liquid and the oil by equating the force of buoyancy to the weight of the wooden block.

Formula:

The buoyant force on a completely submerged object,Fb=1gV1(i)

03

a) Calculation of density of wood

The buoyant force is balanced by the weight of the wooden block.

Fb=Fd

Force of Buoyancy for freshwater using equation (i) is written as:

FbHW=wgVw

Pwis the density of the liquid, and V3is the volume of liquid displaced.

Since2/3 volume of the wood is submerged in the water, we can write

Vw=23V

Vis the volume of wood.

Weight of the wood is balanced by the buoyance force, so we can write it as

蚁gV=wgVv

蚁gV=wg23V

Canceling Von both sides and substituting the value of density of water, we have

=666.66kg/m3

667kg/m3

Hence, the density of wood is667kg/m3

04

b) Calculation of density of oil

Buoyance force by oil should be equal to the weight of the wood to make wood float. Therefore, we can write

og0.9V=gV (density of wood,=667kg/m3

o=741.11kg/m3

741kg/m3

Hence, the density of oil is741kg/m3

A50kgobject is released from rest while fully submerged in a liquid. The liquid displaced by the submerged object has a mass of 3.00kg. How far and in what direction does the object move in0.200s, assuming that it moves freely and that the drag force on it from the liquid is negligible?

When a pilot takes a tight turn at high speed in a modern fighter airplane, the blood pressure at the brain level decreases, blood no longer perfuse the brain, and the blood in the brain drains. If the heart maintains the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the aorta at 120torr(or mmHg) when the pilot undergoes a horizontal centripetal acceleration of4g. What is the blood pressure (intorr) at the brain, localid="1657253735468" 30cmradially inward from the heart? The perfusion in the brain is small enough that the vision switches to black and white and narrows to 鈥渢unnel vision鈥 and the pilot can undergo g-LOC (鈥済-induced loss of consciousness鈥). Blood density is1.06103kg/m3.
