An open barge has the dimensions shown in Fig. P12.63. If the barge is made out of 4.0-cm-thick steel plate on each of its four sides and its bottom, what mass of coal can the barge carry in freshwater without sinking? Is there enough room in the barge to hold this amount of coal? (The density of coal is about).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass of coal is 9.8106kg. Yes, there is room for coal in the barge as the volume of coal is less than the barge.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given information

The given data can be listed below,

  • The length of the barge is, I=40m.
  • The width of the barge is, b=22m.
  • The height of the barge is, h=12m.
  • The thickness of the barge is, t=4cm1m100cm=0.04m.
  • The density of coal is, coal=1500kg/m3.

Concept of Archimedes’s principle

Archimedes鈥檚 principle describes that the buoyancy force equals the water鈥檚 weight or mass displaced. The integral of the pressure is equal to the weight of the water.

In other words, the volume of the object that is displaced by the fluid is the volume required for the buoyant force to counteract the force of gravity.

03

Calculation of the mass of coal barge carries without sinking

The buoyant force acting on the system can be given by,

B=wVbargeg

Here, wis the density of water whose value is 1000kg/m3and Vbargeis the volume of the barge.

The net force acting on the system can begivenby,

B-mbarge+mcoalg=0B=mbarge+mcoalg

Here, B is the buoyant force, mbargeis the mass of barge, mcoal is the mass of coal, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute the value of buoyant force in the above equation.

wVbargeg=mbarge+mcoalgmcoal=wVbarge-mbarge

The volume of the barge can be calculated as,

Vbarge=Ibh

Here, l is the length of the barge, b is the width of the barge, and h is the height of the height.

Substitute all the values above equation.

Vbarge=40m22m12m=1.056104m3

The volume of the steel is 0.040mtimes the total area of the five pieces of steel that the barge made.

The volume of steel is calculated as,

Vs=0.040m22212+24012+4022m2=94.7m3

Therefore, the mass of the barge can be given by,

mbarge=sVs

Here, sis the density of steel whose value is 7800kg/m3and Vsis the volume of steel.

Substitute all the values above equation.

mbarge=7800kg/m394.7m3=7.39105kg

So, the mass of coal the barge can contain can be given as,

mcoal=wVbarge-mbarge

Substitute all the values above equation.

mcoal=1000kg/m31.056104m3-7.39105kg=9.8106kg

Thus, the mass of coal the barge carries without sinking is 9.8106kg.

04

 Determination of volume of coal

The volume of this mass of coal can be expressed as,

Vcoal=mcoalcoal

Substitute all the values above equation.

Vcoal=9.8106kg1500kg/m3=6533.33m3

Thus, the volume of coal is 6533.33m3.

This volume is less than the volume of the barge. So, it will fit into the barge.

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)
