Consider an object that sinks to the bottom of a beaker of liquid. The object is a block with a weight of 20 N, when weighed in air. The beaker it is to be placed in contains some water, as well as a waterproof scale that rests on the bottom of the beaker. This scale is tared to read zero, and let's assume the scale is unaffected by any changes in the level of the water above it. The beaker itself rests on a second scale that reads 50 N, the combined weight of the beaker, the water, and the scale inside the beaker. When the 20-N block is placed in the beaker, it sinks to the bottom and comes to rest on the scale in the beaker, which now reads 5.0 N. This is known as the apparent weight of the block. Let's assume g = 10 m/s2 to simplify the calculations. What is the block's density? Select one: O a. 1200 kg/m3 O b. 1320 kg/m3 O c. 1330 kg/m3 d. 1400 kg/m3

You want to size a hollow sphere made of bronze with an outer radius re and an unknown inner radius ri, as shown in the attached figure. This hollow sphere must be immersed in water and must have a thickness e such that it can be suspended in the liquid. Determine the thickness of the hollow sphere for this condition to be met. To facilitate calculations, consider that the interior of the sphere is in a vacuum. The data needed to solve the problem are: re = 0.5 m rhow = 1000 kg / m3 rhobronze = 8300 kg / m3

Consider a stack of six pancakes. Each pancake is made of 1/4 cup (approximately 60 mL) of batter, and the density of batter is 1 g/cm3. Consider the pancake at the bottom of the stack. What is the total weight of pancakes sitting on top of it? Express your answer in kilograms, but without entering the unit. This is not a lot of weight. Assuming that pancakes have an elastic modulus of 20 kPa, that the area of each pancake is identical (approximately 80 ), and that the stack of pancakes has a height of 55mm, compute how much the single pancake at the bottom of the stack is compressed by the weight of the pancakes on top of it. This is a very small compression, so instead you place a 4 kg weight on the pancakes. Now you see that the stack noticeably compresses. Consider the stack of pancakes as one aggregate unit with a surface area of approximately 80 cm2. What is the stress on the pancakes? Express your answer in Pascals, but without including the unit. Your observation of the normal…
