Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them to the greedy at prices much below gold value but deservedly far above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
The average density of the Sun is on the order 103kg/m3 . (a) Estimate the diameter of the Sun. (b) Given that the Sun subtends at an angle of about half a degree in the sky, estimate its distance from Earth.
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
A spherical vessel used for deep-sea exploration has a radius of 1.50 m and a mass of 1.20 104 kg. To dive, the vessel takes oil mass in the form of seawater. Determine the mass the vessel must take on if it is to descend at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s, when the resistive force on it is 1 100 N in the upward direction. The density of seawater is equal to 1.03 103 kg/m3.
A container of water has a cross-sectional area of A=0.1m2 . A piston sits top of the water (see be following figure). There is a spout located 0.15 m from the bottom of tank, open to the atmosphere, and a stream of water exits the spout. The cross sectional area of the spat is As=7.0104m2 . (a) What is the velocity of the water as it leaves the spout? (b) If the opening of the spout is located 1.5 m above the grand, how far from be pout does water hit the floor? Ignore friction and dissipative forces.
Because atmospheric pressure is about 105 N/m2 and the area of a persons chest is about 0.13 m2, the force of the atmosphere on ones chest is around 13 000 N. In view this enormous force, why dont our bodies collapse?
Check Your Understanding Consider the density required to make Earth a black hole compared to that required for the Sun. What conclusion can you draw from this comparison abut what would be required to create a black hole? Would you expect the Universe to have many black holes with small mass?
A bowling ball has a densityof 5.6 kg/m3. What is this densityin g/cm3?ANS: 5.6×10-3g/cm3
Question: Enter an expression for the net force (F) acting on the submarine window in terms of acceleration of gravity g, depth d, radius r, and density p.
Calculate the speed (in m/s) a spherical rain drop would achieve falling from 3.70 km in the absence of air drag and with air drag. Take the size across of the drop to be 6 mm, the density to be 1.00 ✕ 103 kg/m3, and the surface area to be ?r2. (Assume the density of air is 1.21 kg/m3.)
Calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the bottom ofthe Marianas Trench near the Philippines, given its depth is11.0 km and assuming the density of sea water is constantall the way down. (b) Calculate the percent decrease involume of sea water due to such a pressure, assuming itsbulk modulus is the same as water and is constant. (c) Whatwould be the percent increase in its density? Is theassumption of constant density valid? Will the actual pressurebe greater or smaller than that calculated under thisassumption?
What is standard atmospheric pressure (in cm) measured by a barometer filled with water? (Given: Mercury is 13.6 times more dense than water.)
