A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 39.2 N. When the rock is totally immersed in water, the tension is 28.4 N. When the rock is totally immersed in an unknown liquid, the tension is 21.5 N. What is the density of the unknown liquid?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Density of unknown liquidÒÏ1=1.64×103kg/m3v

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given problem

Tension of string when in airTair=39.2N

Tension of the string when in waterTwater=28.4N

Tension of string when in unknown liquidTliquid=21.5N

Density of waterÒÏw=10000kg/m3

02

Significance of Archimedes’ principle

The buoyant force can be defined as the upward pull of a fluid on a solid mass in space. In fluids, Archimedes' principle states that a buoyant force equals the object's weight.

03

Determination of unknown liquid

Tension on string is acting upwards and weight of string is acting downwards. As rock is suspended as well as it is at rest total net force will be zero.

∑F=Tair-W=0W=Tair

Tension on string is acting upwards and weight of string is acting downwards as the rock is immersed in water and is also in rest, so total net force will be zero.

Starting from the front door of a ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a windmill, turn around, and then slowly walk 40.0 m west to a bench, where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 28.0 s to walk from the house to the windmill and then 36.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from the front door to the bench, what are your (a) average velocity and (b) average speed?

Express each approximation of π to six significant figures: (a) 22/7 and (b) 355/113. (c) Are these approximations accurate to that precision?

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars’s orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun–Mars line and a sun–earth line be? Use

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling,which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand.The initial speed of the putty as it leaves your hand is 9.50 m/s.

(a) What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling?

(b) How much time from when it leaves your hand does it take theputty to reach the ceiling?

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.
