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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Both beakers will weigh the same.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Two identical beakers in are filled to the same height with water.

Beaker B has a plastic sphere floating in it.

02

Explanation

Weight is defined as total force acting downwards towards earth's center.

In this case the force due to weight of the ball is balanced by the buoyant force as the ball is floating.

So the net weight is the same as without ball.

So both will have same weight.

Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the pressures at a, b, and c in FIGURE Q14.2. Explain.

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30psi, but it's been a while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is1500kg. It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are 15cm wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is 13cm long. What answer-in psi-will you give your friend?

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

A 2.0mLsyringe has an inner diameter of 6.0mm, a needle inner diameter of 0.25mm, and a plunger pad diameter (where you place your finger) of 1.2cm. A nurse uses the syringe to inject medicine into a patient whose blood pressure is 140/100.

A. What is the minimum force the nurse needs to apply to the syringe?

B. The nurse empties the syringe in 2.0s. What is the flow speed of the medicine through the needle?

A 6.0 m * 12.0 m swimming pool slopes linearly from a 1.0 m depth at one end to a 3.0 m depth at the other. What is the mass of water in the pool?
