CHAPTER 9 4 Practice Buoyancy Problems
What is the mass of the block floating in water? 10 cm 10 cm 25 cm Wblock = Fbuoyant mg = Vg Volume of block m = (1000)½(.25)(.10)(.10) m = 1.25 kg
What is the mass of the cylinder floating in oil? r = 3 cm L = 12 cm Wcylinder = Fbuoyant mg = Vg Volume of cylinder m = (926)¾ (.12)(.03)2 m = .236 kg = 926 kg/m3
mcork Vcork cork = cork water 240 1000 What % of a solid cork ( = 240 ) will float below the surface of water? Wcork = Fbuoyant mg = Vg cork Vcork = (water)(x)Vcork = x = .24 = 24%
x? 24 cm 30 cm mside Vside side = 5 cm m (.24)(.30)(.05) 2 MASSLESS SIDES & BOTTOM! The thick walls are made of Copper ( = 8930). How wide must the box be to float in water? Wbox = Fbuoyant mg = Vg (.30)(.24)x 64.3 = 1000 8930 = For ONE side x = .893 m m = 32.14 kg
