An object hangs from a spring balance. The balance registersin air,when this object is immersed in water and 24 N when the object is immersed in another liquid of unknown density. What is the density of that other liquid?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The density of the unknown liquid is6102kg/m3.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • Weight in air =30N.
  • Weight in water =20N.
  • Weight in the unknown liquid =24N.
02

Understanding the concept of buoyant force

By using the relation between apparent weight, actual weight, and force of buoyancy we find the density of the unknown liquid.

Formula:

Fb=Mfg

=fVg

Wherefis the density of fluid, V is the volume, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Wapp=WAct-Fb

03

(a) Calculation of density of the unknown liquid

The weight in air of an object is its actual weight,Wact=30N

For the weight of an object when it is immersed in water, we can write

Wapp=WAct-Fb

20=30-wVg

Vg=10w (1)

Applying the formula 2 to the object when it is immersed in an unknown liquid

Wapp=WAct-Fb

24N=30N-uVg

u=6NVg

Using equation (1) and rearranging

u=6Nw10

=6N110310

=6.0102kg/m3

The density of the unknown liquid is 6102kg/m3.

Water is moving with a speed of 5.0msthrough a pipe with a cross-sectional area of 4.0cm2. The water gradually descends as the pipe cross-sectional area increases to 8.0cm2.

(a) What is the speed at the lower level?

(b) If the pressure at the upper level is 1.5105Pa, What is the pressure at the lower level?

The plastic tube in Figure has a cross-sectional area of5.00cm2. The tube is filled with water until the short arm (of lengthd=0.800m) is full. Then the short arm is sealed and more water is gradually poured into the long arm. If the seal will pop off when the force on it exceeds9.80N, what total height of water in the long arm will put the seal on the verge of popping?

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.

The L-shaped tank shown in Figure is filled with water and is open at the top. (a) If d=5.0m, what is the force due to the water on face A and (b) If d=5.0m, what is the force due to the water on face B?

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density1.30103kg/m3. The area of each base is4.00cm2, but in one vessel the liquid height is 0.854 mand in the other it is 1.560 m. Find the work done by the gravitational force in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected.
