Beaker A is filled to the brim with water. Beaker B is the same size and contains a small block of wood that floats when the beaker is filled with water to the brim. Which beaker weighs more?

(a) Beaker A.

(b) Beaker B.

(c) The same for both

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (c) the same for both.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the weight

The weight can be described as the force that acts on an object which consists of specific matter (mass) due to gravitational acceleration in the vertically downward direction. Weight is dependent on the gravitational acceleration and mass of the object.

02

Evaluating the weight of the beaker


The weight of the beaker directly depends upon the total pressure at the bottom surface of the beaker. The pressure at the bottom surface of the beaker is given by the expression,

P =( P0 + 蟻gh)

Here, P is the total pressure at the bottom of the beakers, P0 is the atmospheric pressure, g is the gravitational acceleration, 蟻 is the density of liquid and h is the height up to which the liquid is filled.

Since both beakers have the same size and are filled with the same liquids, then both beakers' weights would be the same/equal.

Thus, from the above analysis, option (c) is correct.

Question: A hydraulic lift is used to jack a 960-kg car 42 cm off the floor. The diameter of the output piston is 18 cm, and the input force is 380 N. (a) What is the area of the input piston? (b) What is the work done in lifting the car 42 cm? (c) If the input piston moves 13 cm in each stroke, how high does the car move up for each stroke? (d) How many strokes are required to jack the car up 42 cm? (e) Show that energy is conserved.

When you ascend or descend a great deal when driving in a car, your ears 鈥減op,鈥 which means that the pressure behind the eardrum is being equalized to that outside? If this did not happen, what would be the approximate force on an eardrum of area \(0.20\;c{m^2}\)if a change in altitude of 1250 m takes place?

Estimate the pressure on the mountains underneath the Antarctic ice sheet, which is typically 2 km thick.

(III) The Earth is not a uniform sphere, but has regions of varying density. Consider a simple model of the Earth divided into three regions鈥攊nner core, outer core, and mantle. Each region is taken to have a unique constant density (the average density of that region in the real Earth):





(a) Use this model to predict the average density of the entire Earth. (b) If the radius of the Earth is 6380 km and its mass is 5.98 脳 1024Kg, determine the actual average density of the Earth and compare it (as a percent difference) with the one you determined in (a).
