Suppose that Archimedes discovered that the king's crown had a mass of
0.750 Kg and a volume of 3.980 times 10 −5
meters3a) What simple technique did he use to
determinar el volumen de la corona? b) ¿La corona era de oro puro?
67. A rectangular boat like the one in the figure is overloaded to the point that
the water is just 1.0 cm below the edge. Calculate the combined mass of the
people and the boat.
68. An object weighs 8.0 N in the air. However, its apparent weight when it is
Totally submerged in water, it is only 4.0 N. What density does the object have?
69. When a crown of 0.80 kg is submerged in water, its apparent weight is
7.3 N. Is the crown made of pure gold?
70. A steel cube with a side of 0.30 m is suspended from a scale and is
submerge in water. What will the scale reading be?
71. A wooden cube with a side of 0.30 m has a density of 700kg/m 3and fleet
horizontally in the water a) What is the distance from the top of the
wood on the surface of the water? What mass needs to be placed on the wood
so that the top part is level with the water?
72. a) If you have a piece of metal attached to a light thread, a scale, and a container
with water where the piece of metal can be submerged, how would I find out the
volume of the metal without using the change in water level? b) An object weighs
0.882 N. If it is hung from a scale that reads 0.735 N when the object is
submerge in water. What volume and density does the object have?
73. An aquarium is filled with a liquid. A cork cube, 10.0 cm on each side,
is pushed and held at rest completely submerged in the liquid. It
It requires a force of 7.84 N to keep it submerged in the liquid. If the density of
cork is 200 kg/m 3Determine the density of the liquid.
74. A block of iron sinks quickly in the water, but ships
iron constructs float. A solid cube of iron measuring 1.0 m on each side
convert into sheets. To form a hollow cube with the sheets that does not
Hound, what is the minimum length that the sides of the sheets should have?
There are plans to reuse airships, lighter-than-air vessels, like the
Goodyear dirigible, for transporting passengers and cargo, but inflating them with helium,
not with flammable hydrogen, which was used in the unfortunate Hindenburg. A
design requires that the ship be 100 m long and have a total mass (without helium) of
30.0 metric tons. Assuming that the shape of the vessel is 'cylindrical'
What diameter should it have to lift the total weight of the ship and the helium?
