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) 1.36\cdot 10^{-4}T

The magnetic field at the center of a coil of N turns is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2R}

where

I is the current in the coil

N is the number of turns

R is the radius of the coil

Here we have

I = 6.5 A is the current in the coil

N = 100 is the number of turns

R=\frac{6.0 m}{2}=3.0 m is the radius of the coil

Substituting,

B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(100)(6.5 A)}{2(3.0 m)}=1.36\cdot 10^{-4}T

B) The force points north

The direction of the force on a positive ion in water can be found by using the right-hand rule. In fact, we have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the ion --> towards east

- Middle finger: direction of magnetic field --> downward

- Thumb: direction of the force --> towards north

So, the force points north.

C) 3.26\cdot 10^{-23}N

The magnitude of the magnetic force on a charged particle moving perpendicularly to the field is

F=qvB

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

In this case, we have

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge

v=1.5 m/s is the velocity

B=1.36\cdot 10^{-4}T is the magnetic field strength

Substituting,

F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)(1.5 m/s)(1.36\cdot 10^{-4}T)=3.26\cdot 10^{-23}N

Ice fishermen sit on top of frozen lakes in the winter and catch fish in the liquid water below through holes cut in the ice she
melomori [17]

Answer:

This is because below 4°c, water unlike other materials becomes less dense when it's temperature is further lowered.

Explanation:

Due to the unusual nature of water; at about 4°c, the behavior of the density of water in relation to its temperature reverses. This means that water becomes less dense as it becomes colder below 4°c. The colder parts therefore floats to the top of the water body while the warmer part sinks allowing the top to freeze and the remaining body below to remain in its liquid state.

The freezing of the top of the lake alone protects the remaining depth of water from freezing by acting as an insulator and preventing further heat loss from the water to the ambient space. If this had not been the case, and water froze all through, marine lives will freeze to death and it will be more difficult to melt the ice come the next summer.

This behavior is due to the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules.

Answer:

The force does the ceiling exert on the hook is 269.59 N

Explanation:

Applying the second Newton law:

F = m*a

From the attached diagram, the net force in object 1 is:

m_{1} a=T_{1} -W_{1}

In object 2:

m_{2} a=W_{2} -T_{2}

Adding the two equations:

m_{2} a+m_{1} a=T_{1} -W_{1} +W_{2} -T_{2} \\m_{1} =\frac{W_{1} }{g} \\m_{2} =\frac{W_{2} }{g} \\Replacing\\T_{2}-T_{1}=W_{2}   -W_{1} -(\frac{W_{1} }{g} +\frac{W_{2} }{g} )a  (eq. 1)

The torque:

\tau =I\alpha

Where

I = moment of inertia

α = angular acceleration

If the linear acceleration is

a=r\alpha \\\alpha =\frac{a}{r} \\I=\frac{1}{2} mr^{2} \\\tau =\frac{mra}{2}

Torque due the tension is equal:

\tau =r(T_{2} -T_{1} )

Substituting torque, mass, in equation 1, the expression respect the acceleration is:

a=\frac{g*(W_{2}-W_{1})}{W_{1}+W_{2} +\frac{W}{2} }

Where

W₁ = 75 N

W₂ = 125 N

W = 80 N

a=\frac{9.8*(125-75)}{75+125+\frac{80}{2} } =2.04m/s^{2}

The net force is:

F_{n} =F-W-T_{1} -T_{2}\\0=F-W-W_{1} (\frac{a}{g} +1)-W_{2} (1-\frac{a}{g})\\F=W+W_{1} +W_{2} +\frac{a}{g} (W_{1} -W_{2} )\\F=80+75+125+\frac{2.04}{9.8} (75-125)\\F=269.59N
