A cube of oak wood with very smooth faces normally floats in water. Suppose you submerge it completely and press one face flat against the bottom of a tank so that no water is under that face. Will the block float to the surface? Is there a buoyant force on it? Explain.
In hot-air ballooning, a large balloon is filled with air heated by a gas burner at the bottom. Why must the air be heated? How does the balloonist control ascent and descent?
The following conversions occur frequently in physics and are very useful. (a) Use 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 h = 3600 s to convert 60 mph to units of ft/s. (b) The acceleration of a freely falling object is 32 ft/s2. Use 1 ft = 30.48 cm to express this acceleration in units of m/s2. (c) The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. Convert this density to units of kg/m3.
A particle of mass 3m is located from a particle of mass m.
(a) Where should you put a third mass M so that the net gravitational force on M due to the two masses is precisely zero?
(b) Is the equilibrium of M at this point stable or unstable (i) for points along the line connecting m and 3m, and (ii) for points along the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line connecting m and 3m?
