According to archimedes’ principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. use this principle to solve the following problems. (a) a wooden cylinder 30.0 cm high floats vertically in a tub of water (density 1: 00 g/cm3). the top of the cylinder is 13.5 cm above the surface of the liquid. what is the density of the wood? (b) the same cylinder floats vertically in a liquid of unknown density. the top of the cylinder is 18.9 cm above the surface of the liquid. what is the liquid density? (c) explain why knowing the length and width of the wooden objects is unnecessary in solving parts (a) and (b). 2.15.

Answers:

a) $\rho_{cylinder}= 0.55 g/cm^{3}$

b) $\rho_{liq}= 1.48 g/cm^{3}$

c) When we divided both volumes (sumerged and displaced) the factor $\pi r^{2}$ is removed during calculations.

Explanation:

a) According to Archimedes’ Principle:

A body totally or partially immersed in a fluid at rest, experiences a vertical upward thrust equal to the mass weight of the body volume that is displaced.

In this case we have a wooden cylinder floating (partially immersed) in water. This object does not completely fall to the bottom because the net force acting on it is zero, this means it is in equilibrium. This is due to Newton’s first law of motion, that estates if a body is in equilibrium the sum of all the forces acting on it is equal to zero.

Hence:

W_(cylinder)=B (1)

Where:

W_(cylinder)=m.g is the weight of the wooden cylinder, where is its mass and gravity.

is the Buoyant force, which is the force the fluid (water in this situation) exert in the submerged cylinder, and is directed upwards.

We can rewrite (1) as follows:

$m_{cylinder}g=m_{water}g$ (2)

On the other hand, we know density $\rho$ establishes a relationship between the mass of a body andthe volume it occupies. Mathematically is expressed as:

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ (3)

isolating the mass:

$m=\rho V$ (4)

Now we can express (2) in terms of the density and the volume of cylinder and water:

$\rho_{cylinder} V_{cylinder} g=\rho_{water} V_{water} g$ (5)

In this case $V_{water}$ is the volume of water displaced by the wooden cylinder (remembering Archimedes's Principle).

At this point we have to establish the total volume of the cylinder and the volume of water displaced by the sumerged part:

$V_{cylinder}=\pi r^{2} h$ (6)

Where is the radius and h=30 cm the total height of the cylinder.

$V_{water}=\pi r^{2} (h-h_{top})$ (7)

Where $h_{top}=13.5 cm$ is the height of the top of the cylinder above the surface of water and $(h-h_{top})$ is the height of the sumerged part of the cylinder.

Substituting (6) and (7) in (5):

$\rho_{cylinder} \pi r^{2} h g=\rho_{water} \pi r^{2} (h-h_{top}) g$ (8)

Clearing $\rho_{cylinder}$ :

$\rho_{cylinder}=\frac{\rho_{water}(h-h_{top})}{h}$ (9)

Simplifying;

$\rho_{cylinder}=\rho_{water}(1-\frac{h_{top}}{h}$ (10)

Knowing $\rho_{water}=1g/cm^{3}$ :

$\rho_{cylinder}=1g/cm^{3}(1-\frac{13.5 cm}{30cm})$ (11)

$\rho_{cylinder}= 0.55 g/cm^{3}$ (12) This is the density of the wooden cylinder

b) Now we have a different situation, we have the same wooden cylinder, which density was already calculated ( $\rho_{cylinder}= 0.55 g/cm^{3}$ ), but the density of the liquid $\rho_{liq}$ is unknown.

Applying again the Archimedes principle:

$\rho_{cylinder} V_{cylinder} g = \rho_{liq} V_{liq} g$ (13)

Isolating $\rho_{liq}$ :

$\rho_{liq}= \frac{\rho_{cylinder} V_{cylinder}}{V_{liq}}$ (14)

Where:

$V_{cylinder}=\pi r^{2} h$

$V_{liq}=\pi r^{2} (h-h_{top})$

Then:

$\rho_{liq}= \frac{\rho_{cylinder} \pi r^{2} h}{\pi r^{2} (h-h_{top})}$ (15)

$\rho_{liq}= \frac{\rho_{cylinder} h}{h-h_{top}}$ (16)

$\rho_{liq}= \frac{0.55 g/cm^{3} (30 cm)} {30 cm - 18.9 cm}$ (17)

$\rho_{liq}= 1.48 g/cm^{3}$ (18) This is the density of the liquid

c) As we can see, it was not necessary to know the radius of the cylinder (we did not need to knoe its length and width), we only needed to know the part that was sumerged and the part that was above the surface of the liquid.

This is because in this case, when we divided both volumes (sumerged and displaced) the factor $\pi r^{2}$ is removed during calculations.

The inside surface of a cylindrical-shaped cave of inner diameter 1.0 m is continuously covered with a very thin layer of water. the cave is very long and it is open on both ends. the water on the cave surface is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c. the cave is constantly exposed to wind such that 15.5 °c air flows through the cave at 4.5 m/s. the kinematic viscosity of the air is 14.66 x 10-6 m2/s and the molecular diffusion coefficient of water vapor in the air is 0.239 x 10-4 m2/s. because the cave diameter is so large, the flow of wind down the length of the cave, in the x direction, can be treated like it is external flow and the cave surface can be approximated as flat where appropriate. calculate the x value, in a) the transition to turbulent flow occurs at rex meters, where the air flow transitions from laminar to turbulent along the inside surface of the cave b) calculate the x value, in meters, where the bulk steady state concentration of water vapor in the air flowing in the cave is 10% of the saturation concentration. assume the air at the surface of the water layer is 100% saturated with water vapor. assume the wind entering the cave contained no moisture before it entered the cave. take into account the transition from laminar to turbulent flow when solving part b
