A 30-cm-tall, 4.0-cm-diameter plastic tube has a sealed bottom. 250 g of lead pellets are poured into the bottom of the tube, whose mass is 30 g, then the tube is lowered into a liquid. The tube floats with 5.0 cm extending above the surface. What is the density of the liquid

Respuesta :

Answer:

Volume of tube = 2^2 * pi * 30 = 377 cm^3

Volume of tube submerged = 25* 377 / 30 = 314 cm^3

Buoyancy = weight of liquid displaced

Volume of liquid displaced = 314 cm^3

Mass of tube and lead = 250 + 30 = 280 g

ρ = M / V      mass density by definition

Mass of liquid displaced = Mass being supported

314 cm^3 * ρ = 280 g

ρ = 280g / 314 cm^3 = .892 g/cm^3

(ignoring the weight of the bottom of the tube)

The density of the liquid will be equal to   [tex]\rho=0.892 \ \dfrac{g}{cm^3}[/tex]

What is density?

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of an object to the volume of the object.

Volume of tube = 2^2 * pi * 30 = 377 cm^3

Volume of tube submerged = 25* 377 / 30 = 314 cm^3

Buoyancy = weight of liquid displaced

Volume of liquid displaced = 314 cm^3

Mass of tube and lead = 250 + 30 = 280 g

Now from the mass density by definition

[tex]\rho = \dfrac{m}{v}[/tex]

[tex]m=\rho \times v[/tex]

Mass of liquid displaced = Mass being supported

[tex]314 \times \rho = 280 g[/tex]

[tex]\rho= \dfrac{280}{ 314 } = .892 \frac{g}{cm^3}[/tex]

Thus the density of the liquid will be equal to   [tex]\rho=0.892 \ \dfrac{g}{cm^3}[/tex]
