A beaker of mass 1.2 kg containing 2.5 kg of water rests on a scale. A 3.8 kg block of a metallic alloy of density 3300 kg/m3 is suspended from a spring scale and is submerged in the water of density 1000 kg/m? as shown in the figure. a) What does the hanging scale read? acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s?Answer in units of N.b) what does the lower scale read? Answer in units of N.

A Beaker Of Mass 12 Kg Containing 25 Kg Of Water Rests On A Scale A 38 Kg Block Of A Metallic Alloy Of Density 3300 Kgm3 Is Suspended From A Spring Scale And Is class=

Sagot :

ANSWER:

a) 25.97 N

b) 47.53 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Beaker mass = 1.2 kg

Water mass = 2.5 kg

Water density = 1000 kg/m^3

Block mass = 3.8 kg

Block density = 3300 kg/m^3

a)

The first thing is to calculate the volume of the block, like this:

[tex]\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ V=\frac{m}{d} \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ V=\frac{3.8}{3300} \\ V=0.00115m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Mass of water displaced by the block is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} d=\frac{m}{V} \\ m=d\cdot V \\ m=1000\cdot0.00115 \\ m=1.15kg \end{gathered}[/tex]

The block will receive a push from the water equal to the weight of the water displaced by the block, or the effective weight of the block will be reduced by the same amount:

[tex]\begin{gathered} W=(m_b-m)\cdot g \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ W=(3.8-1.15)\cdot9.8 \\ W=25.97\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, 25.97 N is the reading on the hanging scale.

b)

The bottom scale will gain by the same amount (1.15 kg). Therefore, the totalweight on the bottom scale is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} W=(1.2+2.5+1.15)\cdot9.8 \\ W=4.85\cdot9.8 \\ W=47.53\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, 47.53 N is the reading on the lower scale.
