A sphere completely submerged in water is tethered to the bottom with a string. The tension in the string is one-third the weight of the sphere. What is the density of the sphere?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The density of the sphere if tension within the string is one-third the load of the sphere, ÒÏb=750kg/m3

Step by step solution

01

Newton's first law.

The law of inertia, often referred to as Newton's first law, states that if a body is at rest or occupation a line at a relentless speed, it will remain at rest or still move in an exceedingly straight path at a continuing speed until it's acted with by a force.

02

Derive the Force.

Using the information provided within the exercise and Newton's first law, with the positive direction upwards, we will write:

FB-T-Fg=0⇒FB=FG+T=43mg

03

Find the density.

Knowing the buoyant force formula and expressing the ball's mass asm=ÒÏbV, we may write:

ÒÏwgV=43ÒÏbVg⇒ÒÏb=34ÒÏw

Because we all know the density of water, we will calculate the numerical solution as,

ÒÏb=34×1000=750kg/m3

A less-dense liquid of density ÒÏ1floats on top of a more-dense liquid of density ÒÏ2. A uniform cylinder of length Land density ÒÏ, with ÒÏ1<ÒÏ<ÒÏ2, floats at the interface with its long axis vertical. What fraction of the length is in the more-dense liquid?

Postural hypotension is the occurrence of low systolic blood pressure when a person stands up too quickly from a reclining position. A brain blood pressure lower than 90mmof Hgcan cause fainting or lightheadedness. In a healthy adult, the automatic constriction and expansion of blood vessels keep the brain blood pressure constant while posture is changing, but disease or aging can weaken this response. If the blood pressure in your brain is 118mmof Hgwhile lying down, what would it be when you stand up if this automatic response failed? Assume your brain is 40cmfrom your heart and the density of blood is1060kg/m3.

A cylinder with cross-section area Afloats with its long axis vertical in a liquid of density ÒÏ.
