A 15.0 kg solid silver statue is raised from the sea bottom. Please calculate the tension in the hoisting cable when the statue is at rest and completely under water.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given:

Mass of solid silver statue,

Density of seawater,

Density of silver,

-----------------

First, find volume of seawater displaced by the statue

Given that the statue is solid, so the volume of seawater displaced by the statue when it is underwater is equal to the volume of statue.

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density

Volume of silver statue,

So volume of seawater displaced,

==============================================

Consider the solid silver statue which is completely submerged.

Weight of the statue is acting downwards

Tension in the hoisting is acting upwards

Bouyant force is acting upwards.

-------

Since it is given that the statue is at rest

Net Force = Zero

Water (density p=1000 kg/m^3) is discharging from through a hole at the bottom of a graduated cylinder. The mass flow rate exiting the container may be approximated by: mass flow rate = C*p*A*(2*g*y)^(1/2) Where C is the dimensionless discharge coefficient , A is the area of the discharge hole, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and y is the water height in the container. The diameter of the graduated cylinder is 8 cm. For the following givens, estimate the...
