A block of wood has a mass of 3.67 kgand a density of 600kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead ( 1.1410-4kg/m3) so that it will float in water with 0.900of its volume submerged. (a)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the top of the wood? (b)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the bottom of the wood?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The lead mass if the lead is fitted to the top of the block is 1.835 kg

(b) The lead mass if the lead is fitted to the bottom of the block is 2.01 kg

Step by step solution

01

The given data

i) The mass of the wood block, m=3.67kg

ii) The density of wood block,wood=600kgm3

iii) The density of lead,lead=1.14104kgm3

iv) The submerged volume of a block, Vsubmerged=0.900m3

Understanding the concept of Archimedes’ Principle

We can find the lead mass if the lead is fitted to the top of the block by using Archimedes鈥 principle in which the volume of lead will not contribute to the buoyant force. Also, we can find the lead mass if the lead is fitted to the bottom of the block in which the volume of lead will contribute to the buoyant force.

Formulae:

Force applied on body (or weight),Fb=mfg(i)

Density of a substance,=mV (ii)

a) Calculation of lead mass if the lead is fitted to the top of the block

When the lead mass is fitted at the top, its volume does not contribute to the buoyant force.

Using equations (i) & (ii) and the given values, we can get

Fb=wVig=0.900wVwoodg=0.900wgmwoodwood...................................(iii)

The block and lead is floating on water.Hence, the buoyant force equals to the weight of wood and lead that implies:

Fb=mwood+mleadg.............................iv

From equation (iii) and (iv), we get

0.900wgmwoodwood=mwood+mleadg0.900wmwoodwood=mwood+mleadmlead=0.900wmwoodwood-mwood=0.90010003.67kg600kgm3-3.67kg=1.835kg

Hence, the mass of the lead is1.835kg

b) Calculation of lead mass if the lead is fitted to the block’s bottom

When lead is fitted to the block鈥檚 bottom, the volume of lead contributes to the buoyant force.

Fb=0.900wgVwood+wgVlead=0.900wgmwoodwood+wgmleadlead..................................v

The block and lead are floating on water.Hence, buoyant force equals to the weight of wood and lead.

Fb=mwood+mleadg.............................vi

From equations (v) and (vi), we get

0.900wgmwoodwood+wgmleadlead=mwood+mleadg0.900wmwoodwood+wmleadlead=mwood+mlead0.900wmwoodwood-mwood=mlead-wmleadlead0.900wmwoodwood-mwood=mlead1-wleadmlead=0.9001000kgm33.67kg600kgm3-3.67kg1-1000kgm31.14104kgm=2.01kg

Hence, the value of lead mass is2.01kg

A cylindrical tank with a large diameter is filled with water to a depth D=0.30m. A hole of cross-sectional area A=6.5cm2in the bottom of the tank allows water to drain out.

(a) What is the rate at which water flows out, in cubic meters per second?

(b) At what distance below the bottom of the tank is the cross-sectional area of the stream equal to one-half the area of the hole?

The teapot effect:Water poured slowly from a teapot spout can double back under the spout for a considerable distance (held there by atmospheric pressure) before detaching and falling. In Fig. 14-23, the four points are at the top or bottom of the water layers, inside or outside. Rank those four points according to the gauge pressure in the water there, most positive first.

An alligator waits for prey by floating with only the top of its head exposed, so that the prey cannot easily see it. One way it can adjust the extent of sinking is by controlling the size of its lungs. Another way may be by swallowing stones (gastrolithes) that then reside in the stomach. Figure shows a highly simplified model (a 鈥渞hombohedron gater鈥) of mass130kgthat roams with its head partially exposed. The top head surface has area0.20m2. If the alligator were to swallow stones with a total mass of1.0%of its body mass (a typical amount), how far would it sink?
