(II) A geologist finds that a Moon rock whose mass is 9.28kg has an apparent mass of 6.18kg when submerged in water. What is the density of the rock?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The density of rock is 2.99 x 103 kg/m3

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the apparent weight

The apparent weight inside a fluid is the difference between the actual weight and the buoyancy given by the fluid.

02

Given the data

The actual mass of the Moon rock is mac = 9.28kg.

The apparent mass of the rock ismapp = 6. 18kg.

03

Calculation the density of rock 

The apparent weight of a substance is,

\begin{aligned}{m_{{\rm{app}}}}g={m_{{\rm{ac}}}}g-{F_{\rm{B}}}\\{m_{{\rm{app}}}}g={m_{{\rm{ac}}}}g-V{\rho_{\rm{f}}}g\\{m_{{\rm{ac}}}}-{m_{{\rm{app}}}}=V{\rho _{\rm{f}}}\end{aligned}

Here, FB is the buoyant force by the fluid, V is the submerged volume of the solid,蟻f is the density of the fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The density of rock is蟻s . Therefore,

\begin{aligned}{m_{{\rm{ac}}}}-{m_{{\rm{app}}}}=\frac{{{m_{{\rm{ac}}}}}}{{{\rho _{\rm{s}}}}}{\rho_{\rm{f}}}\\{\rho_{\rm{s}}}=\frac{{{m_{{\rm{ac}}}}}}{{{m_{{\rm{ac}}}}-{m_{{\rm{app}}}}}}{\rho _{\rm{f}}}\end{aligned}

贬别谤别,蚁f = 1000kg/m3 is the density of water.

Substituting the given values we get,

\begin{aligned}{\rho_{\rm{s}}}=\frac{{9.28\;{\rm{kg}}}}{{9.28\;{\rm{kg}}-6.18\;{\rm{kg}}}}\times1000\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\\\approx2.99\times{10^3}\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\end{aligned}

Hence, the density of the rock is 2.99 x 103 kg/m3.

(a) The piece of wood.

(b) The piece of iron.

(c) They experience the same buoyancy force.

(d) More information is needed.

Why does an ocean liner float?

(a) It is made of steel, which floats.

(b) It's very big size changes the way water supports it.

(c) It is held up in the water by large Styrofoam compartments.

(d) The average density of the ocean liner is less than that of seawater.

(e) Remember the Titanic鈥攐cean liners do not float.

A hurricane-force wind of \({\bf{180}}\;{\bf{km/h}}\) blows across the face of a storefront window. Estimate the force on \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m \times 3}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m}}\) the window due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the window. Assume the store is airtight so the inside pressure remains at 1.0 atm. (This is why you should not tightly seal a building in preparation for a hurricane.)
