Part A:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[ W_{\text{total}} = W_{\text{beaker}} + W_{\text{water}} + W_{\text{ball}} \] | Calculate the total weight of the apparatus by summing the weights of the beaker, water, and ball. |
| 2 | \[ W_{\text{water}} = \rho \cdot V \cdot g \] | Calculate the weight of the water using its density (\( \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)), volume \( V = 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 \), and gravitational acceleration \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). |
| 3 | \[ W_{\text{water}} = 1000 \cdot 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \cdot 9.8 = 49 \, \text{N} \] | Compute the weight of the water. |
| 4 | \[ W_{\text{total}} = 2.0 + 49 + 3.0 = 54 \, \text{N} \] | Sum up all weights to find total weight of the apparatus. |
| 5 | \[ \boxed{54 \, \text{N}} \] | The weight of the entire apparatus. |
Part B:
Part C:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[ F_B = W + T \] | The buoyant force can be calculated by summing the weight and tension forces acting on the ball since these are the forces balancing the buoyancy. |
| 2 | \[ F_B = 3.0 + 4.0 = 7.0 \, \text{N} \] | Calculate the buoyant force on the ball. |
| 3 | \[ \boxed{7.0 \, \text{N}} \] | The buoyant force on the ball. |
Part D:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[ P_{\text{bottom}} = \rho \cdot g \cdot h \] | The gauge pressure at the bottom of a liquid column is given by the product of the density, gravitational acceleration, and height of the liquid column. |
| 2 | \[ P_{\text{bottom}} = 1000 \cdot 9.8 \cdot 0.20 = 1960 \, \text{Pa} \] | Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the beaker. |
| 3 | \[ \boxed{1960 \, \text{Pa}} \] | The gauge pressure at the bottom of the beaker. |
Part E: When the ball is held fully submerged, it displaces water equal to its entire volume. Once it floats, it only displaces water equal to its weight—which is less than its full volume because the ball is less dense than water. Put differently – since the ball is less dense than water, its weight is less than what it would be if it were made of water occupying the same volume. Thus, \(V_{\text{displaced}}\) (when floating) is less than \(V_{\text{ball}}\).
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Nancy is using a turkey baster (a kitchen tool with a rubber bulb on one end and a tube on the other) to collect juices from a roasting turkey. When she squeezes and then releases the rubber bulb, it creates suction with a pressure of \( 99{,}800 \) \( \text{Pa} \). This suction causes the turkey juice to rise \( 9 \) \( \text{cm} \) up the tube. Based on this information, what is the density of the turkey juice?
A Venturi tube has a pressure difference of \( 15\,000 \) \( \text{Pa} \). The entrance radius is \( 3 \) \( \text{cm} \), while the exit radius is \( 1 \) \( \text{cm} \). What are the entrance velocity, exit velocity, and flow rate if the fluid is gasoline \( (\rho = 700 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 ) \)?
Why do you float higher in salt water than in fresh water?
A helium-filled balloon is attached by a string of negligible mass to a small \(0.015 \ \text{kg}\) object that is just heavy enough to keep the balloon from rising. The total mass of the balloon, including the helium, is \(0.0050 \ \text{kg}\). The density of air is \(\rho_{\text{air}} = 1.29 \ \text{kg/m}^3\), and the density of helium is \(\rho_{\text{He}} = 0.179 \ \text{kg/m}^3\). The buoyant force on the \(0.015 \ \text{kg}\) object is small enough to be negligible.
Wanda watches the fish in her fish tank and notices that the angelfish like to feed at the water’s surface, while the catfish feed \( 0.300 \) \( \text{m} \) below at the bottom of the tank. If the average density of the water in the tank is \( 1000. \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \), what is the pressure on the catfish?

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
