Transcribed Image Text:A scientist is calculating the density of an ore sample. The scientist measures that the ore sample weighs 22.4 N in air. When the sample is suspended by a thin light cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 14.2 N. What is the density of the ore sample that the scientist calculates? You can assume that any buoyant force from air is negligible.

- An otter is swimming in the deep area of his tank at the zoo. The surface area of the otter's back is A = 0.55 m2, and you may assume that his back is essentially flat. The gauge pressure of the water at the depth of the otter is P = 14500 Pa. a. Enter an expression for the magnitude of the force F on the back of the otter in terms of the gauge pressure P and the atmospheric pressure P0. b. Solve for the magnitude of the force F, in newtons.arrow_forwardSharks are generally negatively buoyant; the upward buoyant force is less than the weight force. This is one reason sharks tend to swim continuously; water moving past their fins causes a lift force that keeps sharks from sinking. A 92 kg bull shark has a density of 1040 kg/m3.a. What lift force must the shark’s fins provide if the shark is swimming in seawater?b. Bull sharks often swim into freshwater rivers. What lift force is required in a river?arrow_forwardBowling balls are roughly the same size but come in a variety of weights.

The body‑fat ratio can be calculated using the difference in these weight measurements. Unfortunately, this method requires that the person become submerged in water, which is a problem for those suffering from hydrophobia (fear of water). Angel investors give money to companies that they think have highly marketable products or services in exchange for partial ownership of the company.
