In a lava lamp, a waxy fluid (say ρ= 1225[kg/m3]) is surrounded by another fluid

(say ρ= 1200[kg/m3]), they are mutually insoluble, and they are heated by a lamp in the

bottom of the apparatus. The densities of these materials are very similar, where the

waxy one is greater at normal room temperature. As the liquids are heated, the waxy

density becomes less than the surrounding fluid and it rises. What is the buoyant force on

a spherical waxy blob, with radius 0.10[m] in the surrounding fluid? What is the force

due to gravity on this blob? When the blob heats and its density becomes 1100[kg/m3],

how much of its volume is submerged? How do the buoyant force and the force due to

gravity compare now?

Expert Solution

This problem will require the formula for buoyant force.

Say the density of air is 1.23 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.164 kg/m3 when both are at STP. Let's model a balloon as a sphere of radius 0.12 m, with mass 2 g. 1) What is the mass of the helium that would fill a single balloon? 2) What is the buoyant force on a single balloon? 3) What is the net force on a single balloon? 4) If we attach 0.5 m of string (properties: 800...

A thick steel slab (ρ= 7800 kg/m3, c= 480 J/kg·K, k= 50 W/m·K) is initially at 300°C and is cooled by water jets impinging on one of its surfaces. The temperature of the water is 25°C, and the jets maintain an extremely large, approximately uniform convection coefficient at the surface. Assuming that the surface is maintained at the temperature of the water throughout the cooling, how long will it take for the temperature to reach 50°C at a distance of...
