A cylindrical steel tank with a diameter of 20.0 cm, a length of 150.0 cm, and an overall mass of 150.0 kg is accidently dropped into a lake. What is the cylinder's density in g/cm3? Will it sink or float? Pure water has a density of 1 g/cm3. Show your work.
In (Figure 1), how much force does the fluid exert on the end of the cylinder at A? How much force does the fluid exert on the end of the cylinder at B?
Show your complete solution and round-off your finalanswer in the nearest thousandths (3 decimals).a. How much pressure will be measure at the bottom of thewater tank with a height of ℎ = 2? and a cross sectionalarea of ? = 785.398 ??2?b. How much pressure will be measure at the middle of thewater tank with a height of ℎ = 2? and a cross sectionalarea of ? = 785.398 ??2?c.

- show all work in logical, detailed form and box in numerical answers. Include a diagram wherever possible. On any problem where an FBD is appropriate, it must be included for maximum credit. All numerical results should be stated to 3.00 or 4.000 significant figures and in mks units unless otherwise noted. Q: Estimate the buoyant force that you are experiencing, right now. You must do this quantitatively, so please use estimations about our size and shape that are reasonable for humans. Justify your choices diagrammatically. The density of air in your room is approximately 1.29 kg/m' and vou may ignore any variations due to temperature. Hint: pick a simple shape, or shapes, to represent you.

Pressure is calculated by dividing the force exerted on a surface by the area over which the force is applied. The blocks weigh the same and their bases have the same area, so the two blocks exert ______ pressure on the underlying surface.a.half theb.the samec.twice thearrow_forwardA large tank has a tube coming out of it like a straw, as shown in the picture below. The tube of water is entirely full and closed at the end on the right, while the tank is open to the air. Rank the pressures at points N, U, C, L, E, A, and R (using <, >, and =). Explain your reasoning. How does the pressure at point R compare with the atmospheric pressure immediately outside of the straw? Explain your reasoning. Describe what would happen if you held the right end of the straw (near point R) in place and poked a hole in the end of it. (This is how a siphon works.) Explain your reasoning.
