a. What volume of water has the same mass as 8.0 m3 of ethyl alcohol?
b. If this volume of water is in a cubic tank, what is the pressure at the bottom?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Volume is 6.312 m3

b) Pressure is 18 kPa

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step1: Given Information

Vol 8.0 m3of ethyl alcohol is 8.0 m3

02

Part(a) Step2 : Explanation

Volume can be calculated as V = M/ÒÏ

First calculate mass of ethyl alcohol , then use that mass to calculate volume of water

Mass of ethyl alcohol = Me = V x ÒÏe

ÒÏe = density of ethyl alcohol = 789 kg/m3

V = 8 m3

Me = 8 x 789 kg/m3 = 6312 kg.

Now find the volume of the water

Vw = M/ÒÏw = 6312kg1000kg/m3=6.312m3

03

Part(b) Step 1 : given information

The volume of water in part(a) is filled in a cubic tank,

04

Explanation

First find the dimension of the cubic tank for a volume 6.312 m3

The side of a cube is

a=6.3123=1.85m

Now find the pressure exerted

pressureP=hÒÏg=1.85×1000×9.8=18kPa

Pressure exerted is 18 kPa.

The 1.0−m-tall cylinder in FIGURE P14.61 contains air at a pressure of 1atm. A very thin, frictionless piston of negligible mass is placed at the top of the cylinder, to prevent any air from escaping, then mercury is slowly poured into the cylinder until no more can be added without the cylinder overflowing. What is the height h of the column of compressed air?

Hint: Boyle's law, which you learned in chemistry, says p1V1=p2V2 for a gas compressed at constant temperature, which we will assume to be the case.

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

a. Pressing down on the cylinder pushes it deeper into the liquid. Find an expression for the force needed to push the cylinder distance xdeeper into the liquid and hold it there.

b. A 4.0-cm-diameter cylinder floats in water. How much work must be done to push the cylinder 10cmdeeper into the water?

A355mLsoda can is 6.2cmin diameter and has a mass of 20g. Such a soda can half full of water is floating upright in water. What length of the can is above the water level?

In addition to the buoyant force, an object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force F→drag=(bv, direction opposite the motion), where bis a constant. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be shown to be b=6πηR, where ηis the viscosity of the liquid. Consider a sphere of radiusRand density ÒÏthat is released from rest at the surface of a liquid with density ÒÏf.

a. Find an expression in terms of R,η,g, and the densities for the sphere's terminal speed vtermas it falls through the liquid.

b. Solve Newton's second law to find an expression for vy(t), the sphere's vertical velocity as a function of time as it falls. Pay careful attention to signs!

c. Water at 20°Chas viscosity η=1.0×10-3Pas. Aluminum has density 2700kg/m3. If a 3.0-mm-diameter aluminum pellet is dropped into water, what is its terminal speed, and how long does it take to reach 90%of its terminal speed?

The two 60-cm-diameter cylinders in FIGURE P14.39, closed at one end, open at the other, are joined to form a single cylinder, then the air inside is removed.

A. How much force does the atmosphere exert on the flat end of each cylinder?

B. Suppose one cylinder is bolted to a sturdy ceiling. How many 100kgfootball players would need to hang from the lower cylinder to pull the two cylinders apart?
