Explanation

(b) Let specific gravities of concrete and saw dust  are ρ1 and ρ2 respectively.
According to principle of floatation weight of whole sphere = upthrust on the sphere

(d) Apparent weight 

=V(ρ-σ)g =l×b×h×(5-1)×g=5×5×5×4×g Dyne = 4×5×5×5 gf

A silver ingot weighing 2.1 kg is held by a string so as to be completely immersed in a liquid of relative density 0.8. The relative density of silver is 10.5. The tension in the string in kg-wt is

Explanation

(d)

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid with the walls of the containing vessel too. A common application of this principle is in hydraulic lift, to lift the car. Here, a small amount of force applied to the small-area piston, which will be transformed into a large force at a large-area piston.

A cork is submerged in water by a spring attached to the bottom of a bowl. When the bowl is kept in an elevator moving with acceleration downwards, the length of spring

Explanation

(b)

Upthrust reduces from Vdg to Vdg-a which is responsible for the extension in the spring.

A hollow sphere of volume V is floating on water surface with half immersed in it. What should be the minimum volume of water poured inside the sphere so that the sphere now sinks into the water ?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(a) When body (sphere) is half immersed, then
upthrust = weight of sphere 

V2×ρliq×g=V×ρ×g     ρ=ρliq2

When body (sphere) is fully immersed then,

Upthrust = wt. of sphere + wt. of water poured in sphere

V×ρliq×g=V×ρ×g + V'×ρliq×gV×ρliq=V×ρliq2+V'×ρliqV'=V2

A ball whose density is 0.4×103 kg/m3 falls into water from a height of 9 cm . To what depth does the ball sink

Explanation

(b) The velocity of ball before entering the water surface

v=2gh=2g×9

When ball enters into water, due to upthrust of water the velocity of ball decreases (or retarded)

The retardation, a=apparent weightmass of ball

=V(ρ-σ)g=ρ-σρg=0.4-10.4×g=-32g

If h be the depth upto which ball sink, then,

0-v2=2×-32g×h2g×9=3gh h=6 cm

 

A boat carrying steel balls is floating on the surface of water in a tank. If the balls are thrown into the tank one by one, how will it affect the level of water ?

Explanation

(c)

ρball × Vball × g = ρwater × Vdisplaced × gAs ρball  >  ρwaterVdisplaced > VballSo water level falls
