Question

In class, we saw a video of a solid iron anvil floating on a pool of liquid mercury. If the specific gravity of liquid mercury is 13.6 and the specific gravity of iron is 7.8, approximately what percentage of the iron anvil will be submerged? 42.65% will be submerged 57.35% will be submerged 174.36% will be submerged 71.32% will be submerged A 3.1 kg block of ice, with volume 0.2 m3, floats on a bucket full of acetic acid. What is the buoyant force on the block of ice, in newtons? NOTE: Your answer must be within 0.1 of the correct answer.

1. The mass of a piece of ice is 0.530 kg, density of water = 1.00 Ă— 103 kg/m3, and density of ice = 917 kg/m3. What is the buoyant force on the ice floating freely in liquid water? Enter a positive answer if the buoyant force is upward and a negative answer if the buoyant force is downward. 2. The mass of a piece of ice is 0.530 kg, density of water = 1.00 Ă— 103 kg/m3, and density of ice = 917 kg/m3. What is the buoyant force on ice held completely submerged under water? Enter a positive answer if the buoyant force is upward and enter a negative answer if the buoyant force is downward.

A dam on a river is built so that the wall facing the water is shaped like the region above the curve y = 0.7x^4 and below the line y = 100. (Here, distances are measured in meters.) The water level is 38 meters below the top of the dam. Find the force (in Newtons) exerted on the dam by water pressure. (Water has a density of 1000 kg/m^3, and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/sec^2.)

00:01 Hello, in this question the percentage of volume of iron and submerged in mercury is equal to the ratio of specific gravities.
00:08 So volume submerged by total volume multiplied by 100 % is equal to gravity of the mercury, right, the iron, right? specific gravity of iron by specific gravity of mercury multiplied by 100 %.
00:31 So, according to this, since this is equal to 7 .8 by 13 .6 multiplied by 100 in percentage...
