- You can squirt water from a garden hose a considerably greater distance by partially covering the opening with your thumb. Explain this works.arrow_forwardA hot-air balloon consists of a basket banging beneath a large envelope filled with hot air. A topical hot-air balloon has a total mass of 545 kg. including passengers in its basket, and holds 2.55 103 m3 of hot air in its envelope. If the ambient air density is 1.25 kg/m3, determine the density of hot air inside the envelope when the balloon is neutrally buoyant. Neglect the volume of air displaced by the basket and | passengers.arrow_forwardA table-tennis ball has a diameter of 3.80 cm and average density of 0.084 0 g/cm3.

- Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?arrow_forwardAn apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of a container of water.

- Referring to Figure 11.21, prove that the buoyant force on the cylinder is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced (Archimedes' principle). You may assume that the buoyant force is F2F1 and that the ends of the cylinder have equal areas A. Note that the volume of the cylinder (and that of the fluid it displaces) equals (h2h1)A . Figure 11.21 (a) An object submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force FB. If FB is greater than the weight of the object, the object will rise. It FB is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink. (b) If the object is removed, it is replaced by fluid having weight Wf1. Since this weight is supported by surrounding fluid, the buoyant force must equal the weight of the fluid displaced. That is, FB=wfl, a statement of Archimedes' principle.arrow_forwardA small piece of steel is tied to a block of wood. When the wood is placed in a tub of water with the steel on top, half of the block is submerged. Now the block is inverted so that the steel is under water. (i) Does the amount of the block submerged (a) increase, (b) decrease, or (c) remain the same? (ii) What happens to the water level in the tub when the block is inverted? (a) It rises. (b) It falls. (c) It remains the same.arrow_forwardTwo thin-walled drinking glasses having equal base areas but different shapes, with very different cross-sectional areas above the base, are filled to the same level with water. According to the expression P = P0 + gh, the pressure is the same at the bottom of both glasses. In view of this equality, why does one weigh more than the other?arrow_forward
- Rank the buoyant forces exerted on the following five objects of equal volume from the largest to the smallest.

Then the iron block is removed, and an aluminum block of the same volume replaces it. (a) In which case is the buoyant force the greatest, for the iron block or the aluminum block? (b) In which case does the spring scale read the largest value? (c) Use the known densities of these materials to calculate the quantities requested in parts (a) and (b). Are your calculations consistent with your previous answers to parts (a) and (b)?arrow_forwardCalculate the contact angle for olive oil if capillary action raises it to a height of 7.07 cm in a glass tube with a radius of 0.100 mm.
