A 950-kg cylindrical can buoy floats vertically in seawater. The diameter of the buoy is 0.900 m. Calculate the additional distance the buoy will sink when an 80.0-kg man stands on top of it.

Short Answer

Answer

Additional distance the buoy will sink is 0.122m

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step1: Identification of given data

Given data can be listed below,

  • Mass of cylindrical buoy w = 950kg.
  • Diameter of the buoy D=0.900m.
  • Mass of man standing at top m = 80kg.
02

Significance of buoyant force

When the object is in a line parallel to the liquid's centre of gravity, they become buoyant. However, the centre of gravity of the superseded object is frequently not the same. The force is just the same as the weight of the liquid being replenished by the object.

03

Calculation of the additional distance

ByArchimedes’ principle, the additional force will be equal to the extra weight on the buoy and its volume can be given by,

V=mÒÏ

Here, m is mass of the man, and ÒÏ is the density of water which is 1080kg/m3.

Substitute 80 kg for m, and 1080 kg/m3 for ÒÏ the values in above equation,

V=80 k²µ1030 k²µ/m3=0.07767″¾3

The volume can also be expressed as,

V=dAd=VAd=VÏ€4D2

Here, dis the additional distance and A is the area of buoy.

Substitute 0.07767 m3 for V, and 0.9 m for D in above equation,

d=0.07767″¾3Ï€40.900″¾2d=0.122″¾

Thus, the additional distance buoy will sink is 0.122m.

Comparing Example 12.1 (Section 12.1) and Example 12.2 (Section 12.2), it seems that 700 N of air is exerting a downward force of 2.0×106Non the floor. How is this possible?

While driving in an exotic foreign land, you see a speed limit sign that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 mabove the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your physics professor, who is1.80 mtall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor’s head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.

Some scientists are eager to send a remote-controlled submarine to Jupiter’s moon Europa to search for life in its oceans below an icy crust. Europa’s mass has been measured to be 4.80×1022 kg , its diameter is 3120 km, and it has no appreciable atmosphere. Assume that the layer of ice at the surface is not thick enough to exert substantial force on the water. If the windows of the submarine you are designing each have an area of 625 cm2and can stand a maximum inward force of 8750 N per window, what is the greatest depth to which this submarine can safely dive?

Given two vectors A→=4.00i^+7.00j^ and B→=5.00i^−7.00j^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector difference A→−B→; and (c) find the magnitude and direction of the vector difference A→−B→. (d) In a vector diagram showA→,B→ and A→−B→, and show that your diagram agrees qualitatively with your answer to part (c).
