1. The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is F 1. A cylindrical container with cross sectional area A holds a liquid of density ρ which has a depth h. Now consider, the object is suspended from a spring scale and submerged into the liquid in the container and the scale reads F (see figure). The atmospheric pressure is P 0. scale and submerged in water, the scale reads 3.50 N (Fig. P14.6). Find the density of the object. Scale a (a) Find the volume of the object. [4 pts] Figure P14.6 Problems 6 and 7. 7. A 10.0-kg block of metal measuring 1.0 cm by 10.0 cm by 10.0 cm is suspended from a scale and immersed in water as shown in Figure P14.6b. The 1.0-cm dimension is vertical, and the top of the block is 5.00 cm below the surface of the water. (a) What are the magnitudes of the forces acting on the top and on the bottom of the block due to the surrounding water? (b) What is the reading of the spring scale? (c) Show that the buoyant force equals the difference between the forces at the top and bottom of the block. 8. A light balloon is filled with 400 m 3 of helium at atmospheric pressure. (a) At 0 C, the balloon can lift a pay- W load of what mass? (b) What If? In Table 14.1, observe that the density of hydrogen is nearly half the density of helium. What load can the balloon lift if filled with hydrogen? b (b) Find the absolute pressure at the very bottom of the container of liquid. [4 pts]

3. Consider a siphon being used in air with atmospheric pressure P 0. Let ρ be the density of water. (a) In terms of the constants shown in the diagram, give an expression for the speed of the water as it emerges from the tube. You may assume that the cross sectional area of the container of water is very large. [4 pts] (b) Find an expression for the pressure in the tube at point B. [4 pts] (c) Will changing the value of h 1 affect the flow of the water through the tube, or can h 1 take any (positive) value? Explain your reasoning. [3 pts] (d) Suppose the cross sectional area of the container of liquid is α and the cross sectional area of the tube is a (α >> a). Let x be the height of the water s surface above the end of the siphon at time t. Then dx is the rate of change of dt height of water in the tank. Find a differential equation for dx, but you do not dt need to solve it. You may use your answer to part (a) if it is useful. [3 pts] 4
