A lead block is suspended by means of a string from the underside of a 8.00 kg block of wood of density of 696 kg/m3. If the upper surface of the wood is just level with the water, what is the tension in the string?(The density of lead is 11340 kg/m3)

Answer :

Answer:

Tension of rope T = 35.16 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of block = 8 kg

Wood of density = 696 kg/m³

Density of lead = 11,340 kg/m³

Find:

Tension in the string

Computation:

Volume of wood = Mass of block / Wood of density

Volume of wood = 8 / 696

Using Archimedes law

Mw + M  = (Vw + V) 1,000

8/1,000 + 11,340v = (Vw + V) 1,000

V = 3.47 x 10⁻⁴

Tension of rope T

T = v (11,340 - 1,000)9.8 N

T = (3.47 x 10⁻⁴)(11,340 - 1,000)9.8 N

Tension of rope T = 35.16 N

If the upper surface of the wood is just level with the water, the tension in the string is 34.2 Newton.

Mass of block of wood; [tex]m_w = 8.00kg[/tex]

Density of wood; [tex]\delta _w = 696 kg/m^3[/tex]

Density of lead; [tex]\delta _{Ld} = 11340 kg/m^3[/tex]

Density of water; [tex]\delta _{water} = 1000kg/m^3[/tex]

First we determine the volume of wood:

[tex]v_w = \frac{mass}{density} = \frac{m_w}{\delta w} = \frac{8.00kg}{696kg/m^3}\\\\v_w = 0.01149m^3[/tex]

Now, using Archimedes principle:

Buoyancy force is determined using the equation:

[tex]F_b = V * \delta * g[/tex]

Where:

  • [tex]F_b[/tex] is the buoyancy force acting on the object
  • V is the submerged volume of the object
  • [tex]\delta[/tex] is the density of the fluid the object is submerged in( Density of water; [tex]\delta _{water} = 1000kg/m^3[/tex])
  • g is the force of gravity( [tex]9.8m/s^2[/tex])

We substitute our values into the equation

[tex]F_b = 0.01149m^3\ *\ 1000kg/m^3 * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F_b = 112.602 kg.m/s^2\\\\F_b = 112.602N[/tex]

Now, buoyancy force [tex]F_b[/tex] = Weight + Tension

[tex]F_b = mg + T\\\\T = F_b - mg[/tex]

We substitute in our values

[tex]T = 112.602N - ( 8kg * 9.8m/s^2)\\\\T = 112.602N - 78.4kgm/s^2\\\\T = 112.602N - 78.4N\\\\T = 34.2N[/tex]

Therefore, if the upper surface of the wood is just level with the water, the tension in the string is 34.2 Newton.
