Question

Transcribed Image Text:A spring is attached to the bottom of an empty swimming pool, with the axis of the spring oriented vertically. An 11.0-kg hollow block
of wood (p = 840 kg/m³) is fixed to the top of the spring and compresses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completely covering the
block. The spring is now observed to be stretched twice as much as it had been compressed. Determine the percentage of the block's
total volume that is hollow. Ignore any air in the hollow space.

- A Volkswagen with mass m = 8.00 x 102kg is at rest as shown in the figure. Both pistons have a circular cross-sectional area. The small piston has a diameter of d1 = 0.25 m and the large piston has a diameter d2 = 4.5 m. Determine the magnitude of the forceexercised on the small piston.arrow_forwardit’s a lovely day and you decide to launch a giant helium balloon. Once filled, your balloon is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6.90 m. You consider having the balloon lift a crate of water balloons. What is the maximum weight the filled helium balloon can just lift (solve for the equilibrium condition where upward force equals downward force)? Assume that the membrane of the helium balloon has a mass of 920 kg (this does not include the mass of the helium within nor the mass of the crate). Neglect the buoyant force on the crate of water balloons. Density of He is 0.179 kg/m3. Density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. Volume of a sphere is 4/3 π r3.

An 25.0-kg hollow block of wood (p = 840 kg/m³) is fixed to the top of the spring and compresses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completely covering the block. The spring is now observed to be stretched twice as much as it had been compressed. Determine the percentage of the block's total volume that is hollow. Ignore any air in the hollow space.

- E 3. A spring is attached to the bottom of an empty swimming pool, with the axis of the spring oriented vertically. An 8.60- kg block of wood (density = 770 kg/m³) is fixed to the top of the spring and compresses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completely covering the block. The spring is now observed to be stretched twice as much as it had been compressed. Determine the percentage of the block's total volume that is hollow.

A light spring of constant k = 90.0 N/m is attached vertically to a table. A balloon (with empty mass 2.50 g) is filled with a mixture of helium (density = 0.179 kg/m³) and air (density = 1.29 kg/m³) to a volume of 4.00 m³ and is then connected to the spring, causing the spring to stretch. If the spring stretches by 1.0 cm, find the required density of the gas mixture, and find how much helium and air you need to produce that mixture.arrow_forward
