An open tank is filled to the top with water. A steel cylindrical container, wall thickness \(\delta=1 \mathrm{mm},\) outside diameter \(D=100 \mathrm{mm},\) and height \(H=1 \mathrm{m},\) with an open top, is gently placed in the water. What is the volume of water that overflows from the tank? How many 1 kg weights must be placed in the container to make it sink? Neglect surface tension effects.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The volume of water that overflows from the tank can be calculated using the formula \(V_{overflow} = \pi R^2 H - \pi (R-\delta)^2 H\). The number of 1 kg weights needed to sink the container can be found by first calculating the buoyant force and then subtracting the weight of the cylinder and rounding up to the nearest whole number.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the volume of the steel cylinder

First determine the external radius \(R\) of the cylinder using the equation \(R = D/2\), where \(D\) is the given diameter of the cylinder. Once you have the radius, calculate the volume \(V_c\) of the steel cylinder using the formula \(V_c = \pi R^2 H\). Subtract from this the volume of the steel material to get the volume of the space inside the container, or \(V_{container} = V_c - \pi (R-\delta)^2 H\).
02

Determine the volume of the overflowed water

The volume of the water that overflows when the cylinder is placed in the water is the same as the volume of the cylinder. Therefore, calculate this using the formula obtained from the previous step, \(V_{overflow} = \pi R^2 H - \pi (R-\delta)^2 H\)
03

Calculate the buoyant force acting on the cylinder

The buoyant force can be determined using Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of the displaced water. The displaced water is the overflowed water. The buoyant force \(F_B\) can be calculated as \(F_B = \rho_{water} g V_{overflow}\), where \(\rho_{water}\) is the density of water, \(g\) the acceleration due to gravity, \(V_{overflow}\) the volume of the overflowed water.
04

Determine the number of 1 kg weights

To sink the cylinder, the weight inside the cylinder must be greater than the buoyant force. Thus, the number of 1 kg weights can be determined using the formula \(n = ceil(F_B - m_{cylinder})\), where \(m_{cylinder}\) is the mass of the cylinder, calculated by the volume of the cylinder times the density of steel, \(F_B\) is the buoyant force calculated from Step 3, and using the function \(ceil()\) helps us round up to the nearest whole number as weights cannot be fractions.

When a water polo ball is submerged below the surface in a swimming pool and released from rest, it is observed to pop out of the water. How would you expect the height to which it rises above the water to vary with depth of submersion below the surface? Would you expect the same results for a beach ball? For a table-tennis ball?

A door \(1 \mathrm{m}\) wide and \(1.5 \mathrm{m}\) high is located in a plane vertical wall of a water tank. The door is hinged along its upper edge, which is \(1 \mathrm{m}\) below the water surface. Atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the door and at the water surface. (a) Determine the magnitude and line of action of the total resultant force from all fluids acting on the door. (b) If the water surface gage pressure is raised to 0.3 atm, what is the resultant force and where is its line of action? (c) Plot the ratios \(F / F_{9}\) and \(y^{\prime} / y_{c}\) for different values of the surface pressure ratio \(p_{s} / p_{\text {atm }}\). \(\left(F_{0}\right.\) is the resultant force when \(\left.p_{s}=p_{\text {atm }}\right)\).

A test tube is spun in a centrifuge. The tube support is mounted on a pivot so that the tube swings outward as rotation speed increases. At high speeds, the tube is nearly horizontal. Find (a) an expression for the radial component of acceleration of a liquid clement located at radius \(r,\) (b) the radial pressure gradient \(d p / d r,\) and (c) the required angular velocity to generate a pressure of \(250 \mathrm{MPa}\) in the bottom of a test tube containing water. (The free surface and bottom radii are 50 and \(130 \mathrm{mm},\) respectively.

What holds up a car on its rubber tires? Most people would tell you that it is the air pressure inside the tires. However, the air pressure is the same all around the hub (inner wheel), and the air pressure inside the tire therefore pushes down from the top as much as it pushes up from below, having no net effect on the hub. Resolve this paradox by explaining where the force is that keeps the car off the ground.

A hydrometer is a specific gravity indicator, the value being indicated by the level at which the free surface intersects the stem when floating in a liquid. The 1.0 mark is the level when in distilled water. For the unit shown, the immersed volume in distilled water is \(15 \mathrm{cm}^{3} .\) The stem is \(6 \mathrm{mm}\) in diameter. Find the distance, \(h,\) from the 1.0 mark to the surface when the hydrometer is placed in a nitric acid solution of specific gravity 1.5.
