Chapter 14: Q. 7 (page 383)

Blocks a, b, and c in FIGURE Q14.7 have the same volume. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the sizes of the buoyant forces Fa , Fb , and Fc on a, b, and c. Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Buoyant forces are equal on all three blocks, soFa = Fb = Fc

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The figure given with 3 objects with same volume is submerged in liquid.

02

Explanation

We know that buoyant force acting on a mass floating in a liquid depends on density of object, submerged volume of object and gravity.

F= Vs 蚁 g 鈥︹��..................(1)

Where

F = buoyant force

Vs = submerged volume

蚁 = density of liquid

g = gravity

As the volume of all objects are same so buoyant force will be same .

So.

Fa = Fb =Fc

A long horizontal tube has a square cross-section with sides of width L.

A fluid moves through the tube with speed v0. The tube then changes to a circular cross-section with a diameterL. What is the fluid's speed in the circular part of the tube?

The two identical beakers in FIGURE Q14.9 are filled to the same height with water. Beaker B has a plastic sphere floating in it. Which beaker, with all its contents, weighs more? Or are they equal? Explain.

It's possible to use the ideal-gas law to show that the density of the earth's atmosphere decreases exponentially with height. That is, 蚁=蚁0exp鈦�鈭�z/z0, where Zis the height above sea level, 蚁0is the density at sea level (you can use the Table 14.1value), and z0is called the scale height of the atmosphere.

a. Determine the value of z0.

Hint: What is the weight of a column of air?

b. What is the density of the air in Denver, at an elevation of 1600m? What percent of sea-level density is this?

A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 10.0cmdeep. How far upward from its initial position does the mercury in the right arm rise?

An object has density 蚁.
a. Suppose each of the object鈥檚 three dimensions is increased by a factor of 2 without changing the material of which the object is made. Will the density change? If so, by what factor? Explain.
b. Suppose each of the object鈥檚 three dimensions is increased by a factor of 2 without changing the object鈥檚 mass. Will the density change? If so, by what factor? Explain.
