A toy is placed in a fish tank 3/4 of water. Attached to tire is a pulley. The weight of the tire is .36 N outside of water. Weight after tire is pulled under water is .45 N. What is the density of the toy in g/cm3?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The additional mass inside the water is due to the buoyant force. This additional mass is can be called as buoyant mass and it is given by,

where,

= mass of the body in air (or vacuum)

= fluid density

= object density

as it is the ratio of the same quantities(density), it is unitless, so we will consider the density in

this will make no difference.

the density of the water is

this is density of the toy.

A metal bar, initially at 2000K, is placed in a large tank of water at room temperature. Tank is well isolated from the environment. Between the moment bar was placed in the water and the moment when bar and water reached equilibrium, did the entropy of the metal bar increased, decreased, or remained the same? Explain.
