Chapter 1: Q22DQ (page 390)

Two identical buckets are filled to the brim with water but one of them has a piece of wood floating in it. Which bucket of water weights more? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The weight of the bucket filled with water and the weight of the bucket containing the floating block isthe same. As a result, the weight of both buckets is the same.

Step by step solution

01

Step:1 Given data

  1. Two identical buckets were filled to the brim with water.
  2. A piece of wood is found in one of the two buckets.
02

Step: 2 Principles and ideas

a) When a body is immersed in a fluid, the fluid exerts an upward force on the body, which is known as buoyant force. Therefore, when an object is displaced by a fluid, Archimedes鈥� principle states that its buoyant force is equal to the object's weight in fluid, such thaB=g脳pfluid脳Vdisplaced

b) Weight is the gravitational pull imposed on a body by the earth that determines its weight Weight is indeed a vector property. Gravitational acceleration (g) multiplied by the mass (m) of an object equals the magnitude of its weight (w) at any given point.

w=mg

03

Step: 3 Information that is required

We are asked to tell which of the two buckets weights more.

04

Solution

The weight of the bucket is can be written as:

W=pgV

Where pis the density of water, Vis the volume of water in a bucket

This demonstrates that the weight of the water is proportional to the amount of water in the bucket.

The water levels in both buckets are the same because a portion of the woodblock is visible above the surface of the water in both buckets. In line with Archimedes' principle, the floating block displaces a percentage of the volume of water equal to its weight when it is submerged. This kept the weight of the water in the bucket equal to the weight of the water in the other bucket.

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth鈥檚 surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth鈥檚 surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth鈥檚 mass).

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.
