A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

wood in air and the lead weight submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with the wood and the lead weight both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the specific gravity of the wood

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

A magnetic dipole with a dipole moment of magnitude 0.0243 J/T is released from rest in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 57
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

47.76°

Explanation:

Magnitude of dipole moment = 0.0243J/T

Magnetic Field = 57.5mT

kinetic energy = 0.458mJ

∇U = -∇K

Uf - Ui = -0.458mJ

Ui - Uf = 0.458mJ

(-μBcosθi) - (-μBcosθf) = 0.458mJ

rearranging the equation,

(μBcosθf) - (μBcosθi) = 0.458mJ

μB * (cosθf - cosθi) = 0.458mJ

θf is at 0° because the dipole moment is aligned with the magnetic field.

μB * (cos 0 - cos θi) = 0.458mJ

but cos 0 = 1

(0.0243 * 0.0575) (1 - cos θi) = 0.458*10⁻³

1 - cos θi = 0.458*10⁻³ / 1.397*10⁻³

1 - cos θi = 0.3278

collect like terms

cosθi = 0.6722

θ = cos⁻ 0.6722

θ = 47.76°

A force of 250 N is applied to a hydraulic jack piston that is 0.02 m in diameter. If the piston that supports the load has a di
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

Force exerted by the hydraulic jack piston = F₁ = 250 N

diameter of piston, d₁ = 0.02 m

                                r₁ = 0.01 m

diameter of second piston,  d₂ = 0.15 m

                                r₂ = 0.075 m

mass of the jack to lift = ?

now,

    \dfrac{F_1}{A_1} =\dfrac{F_2}{A_2}

    \dfrac{250}{\pi r_1^2} =\dfrac{F_2}{\pi r_2^2}

    \dfrac{250}{0.01^2} =\dfrac{F_2}{0.075^2}

    F_2= \dfrac{250}{0.01^2}\times {0.075^2}

               F₂ = 14062.5 N

F = m g

m = \dfrac{F}{g}

m = \dfrac{14062.5}{9.8}

m = 1435 Kg

hence, the correct answer is option B

The free-electron density in a copper wire is 8.5×1028 electrons/m3. The electric field in the wire is 0.0520 N/C and the temper
meriva

Answer:

(a) 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) 0.013V

Explanation:

(a) Drift speed, v_{d} , is the average velocity that a charged particle can have due to an electric field. For a given current, I, the drift velocity is given by;

v_{d} = \frac{I}{qnA}             ----------------(i)

Where;

q = amount of charge

n = free charge density

A = cross-sectional area of the wire

But current density, J, is the electric current per unit cross-section area. This  is also equal to the ratio of the electric field, E, to the resistivity, p, of the material of the wire. i.e

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{E}{p}

Equation (i) can then be written as follows;

v_{d} = \frac{J}{qn} = \frac{E}{qnp}

v_{d} = \frac{E}{qnp}      ---------------------(ii)

From the question;

E = 0.0520N/C

p = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³

c = charge on electron = 1.9 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

v_{d} = \frac{0.0520}{1.9*10^{-19} * 8.5*10^{28} * 1.72*10^{-8}}

v_{d} = 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) The potential difference, V, is given by the product of the electric field and the distance, d, between the two points in the wire. i.e

V = E x d        [where d = 25.0cm = 0.25m]

V = 0.0520 x 0.25

V = 0.013V
