Chapter 14: Q3Q (page 405)

A boat with an anchor on board floats in a swimming pool that is somewhat wider than the boat. Does the pool water level move up, move down, or remain the same if the anchor is (a) dropped into the water or (b) thrown onto the surrounding ground? (c) Does the water level in the pool move upward, move downward, or remain the same if instead; a cork is dropped from the boat into the water, where it floats?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The level of the pool water moves downward if the anchor is dropped into the water.

(b) The level of the pool water moves downward if the anchor is thrown onto the surrounding ground.

(c) The water level in the pool remains same if instead, a cork is dropped from the boat into the water, where it floats.

Step by step solution

01

The given data 

Conditions for the total weight of the boat are given.

02

Understanding the concept of the Archimedes Principle

The water level increases according to the weight of the object submerged in it. Thus, using the given data and situations, we can get the weight of the object.

Formula:

The weight on a body due to gravitational acceleration, W = mg (i)

03

Calculation of the water level when anchor is dropped into the water

a)

If the anchor is dropped down into the water, the weightof the boatreduces due to decrease in the weight of the boat considering equation (i). So, it displaces less water than before.

Hence, the level of water moves downward.

04

Calculation of the water level when anchor is thrown into the surrounding ground

b)

If the anchor is thrown onto the surrounding ground, the level of water moves downward because the boat will displace less water than before.

Hence, the level of water moves downward.

05

Calculation of the water level when cork is dropped into the river where it floats

c)

When cork is droppedfrom a boatinto the water, then there would be no effect on the weight of the boat. So, it displaces the same volume of water as before.

Hence, there would be no effect on the level of water.

Giraffe bending to drink. In a giraffe with its head 2.0m above its heart, and its heart 2.0mabove its feet, the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is250 torr. Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06脳103kg/m3. (a) In torr (or role="math" localid="1657260976786" mmHg), find the (gauge) blood pressure at the brain (the pressure is enough to perfuse the brain with blood, to keep the giraffe from fainting). (b) torrIn (ormmHg), find the (gauge) blood pressure at the feet (the pressure must be countered by tight-fitting skin acting like a pressure stocking). (c) If the giraffe were to lower its head to drink from a pond without splaying its legs and moving slowly, what would be the increase in the blood pressure in the brain? (Such action would probably be lethal.)

When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snorkel tube and thus are at atmospheric pressure 1) In atmospheres, what is the difference鈭�pbetween this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is 20 cm (standard situation) &2) In atmospheres, what is the difference謴pbetween this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is 4.0m(probably lethal situation)? In the latter, the pressure difference causes blood vessels on the walls of the lungs to rupture, releasing blood into the lungs. As depicted in Figure, an elephant can safely snorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungsbelow the water surface because the membrane around its lungs contains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels, preventing rupturing.

A garden hose with an internal diameter of 1.9cmis connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of a container with 24holes, each 0.13cmin diameter. If the water in the hose has a speed of 0.91m/s, at what speed does it leave the sprinkler holes?

(a) For seawater of density 1.03 g/cm3, find the weight of water on top of a submarine at a depth of 255mif the horizontal cross-sectional hull area is 2200.0m2. (b) In atmospheres, what water pressure would a diver experience at this depth?

What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats: (a) in the ocean (salt water, density) and (b) in a river (fresh water, density 1000kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to a community.)
