[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

Three liquids that will not mix are poured into a cylindrical container. The volumes and densities of the liquids are0.50L, 2.6 g/cm3; 0.25 L, 1.0 g/cm3; and0.40 L, 0.80 g/cm3 . What is the force on the bottom of the container due to these liquids? One liter , 1L=1000 cm3. (Ignore the contribution due to the atmosphere.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force on the bottom of the container due to three liquids is 18.3 N.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

i) Volume and density of liquid 1 is V1=0.50L,ÒÏ1=2.6g/cm3

ii) Volume and density of liquid 2 is V2=0.50L,ÒÏ2=1.0g/cm3

iii) Volume and density of liquid 3 isV3=0.40L,ÒÏ3=0.80g/cm3

02

Understanding the concept of density and weight

We can use the formula for force (weight) in terms of density and volume to find the forces on three liquids separately. Then adding them, we can get the force on the bottom of the container due to three liquids.

Formula:

Weight of a body in terms of force,

W=mg=ÒÏVg,

where, (i)

ÒÏ=densityofmaterial,V=volumeofmaterialmg=accelerationofgravity9.8m/s2or980cm/s2

Calculation of force (weight) on the bottom of the container

Force on the bottom of the container due to liquids:

We know that1L=1000cm3

For first liquid, using equation (i)

role="math" localid="1657193879159" W1=2.6×0.50×1000×980=1.27×106g·cm/s2=1.27×106dyne=12.7N∵1N=105dyne

Similarly, we can find the weight of second liquid using equation (i)

role="math" localid="1657194157414" W2=0.25×1.0×1000×980=2.45×105g·cm/s2=2.45×105dyne=2.45N∵1N=105dyne

For third liquid, using equation (i) we have

W3=0.40×0.80×1000×980=3.14×105g·cm/s2=3.14×105dyne=3.14N∵1N=105dyne

Total force on the bottom of the cylinder is

F=W1+W2+W3=12.7+2.45+3.14=18.29N≈18.3N

Therefore, the force on the bottom of the container due to three liquids is18.3N

A liquid of density 900kg/m3 flows through a horizontal pipe that has a cross-sectional area of 1.90×10-2m2 in region A and a cross-sectional area of 9.50×10.2m2 in region B. The pressure difference between the two regions is 7.20×103Pa.

(a) What is the volume flow rate?

(b) What is the mass flow rate?

What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density (a) were uniform and (b) What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density were decreased linearly to zero with height? Assume that at sea level the air pressure is1.0atmand the air density is 1.3kg/m3.

A hollow spherical iron shell floats almost completely submerged in water. The outer diameter is 60.0cm, and the density of iron is 7.87gcm3 . Find the inner diameter.

In Figure, a spring of spring constant 3.00×104N/mis between a rigid beam and the output piston of a hydraulic lever. An empty container with negligible mass sits on the input piston. The input piston has area A1, and the output piston has area 18.0A1. Initially the spring is at its rest length. How many kilograms of sand must be (slowly) poured into the container to compress the spring by 5.00cm?

A very simplified schematic of the rain drainage system for a home is shown in Figure. Rain falling on the slanted roof runs off into gutters around the roof edge; it then drains through downspouts (only one is shown) into a main drainage pipe Mbelow the basement, which carries the water to an even larger pipe below the street. In Figure, a floor drain in the basement is also connected to drainage pipe M. Suppose the following apply: 1.The downspouts have height h1=11m, 2.the floor drain has heighth2=1.2m,3.pipe Mhas radius 3.0cm,4.the house side is width w=30mand front

length L=60m,5.all the water striking the roof goes through pipe M, 6.the initial speed of the water in a downspout is negligible, 7.the wind speed is negligible (the rain falls vertically). At what rainfall rate, in centimetres per hour, will water from pipe M reach the height of the floor drain and threaten to flood the basement?
