Accepted Answer

$$353 N$$

Question 8

Which of the following best defines the specific gravity of a material?

Accepted Answer

The ratio of the density of the material to the density of water.

Question 9

A pressure gauge at the bottom of a swimming pool reads $$2.5 	imes 10^5$ Pa. If atmospheric pressure is 1.0$$ 	imes $$10^5 Pa$$, what is the gauge pressure at this point?

Accepted Answer

$$1.5 	imes 10^5$ Pa

Question 10

A cube of gold (density $$19.3 	imes 10^3$ kg/m^3$) and a cube of lead (density 11.3$$ 	imes $$10^3 kg/m$^3) $$each have a mass of $$1 kg. $$Which cube experiences a greater buoyant force when fully submerged in water?

Accepted Answer

The lead cube, because it has a lower density.

Question 11

Which of the following is NOT a correct conversion for pressure?

Accepted Answer

1 torr = $$1.01325 	imes 10^5$ Pa

Question 12

A submarine is at a depth where the absolute pressure is $$5.0 	imes 10^5$ Pa. If the atmospheric pressure at the surface is 1.0$$ 	imes $$10^5 Pa$$, what is the gauge pressure at this depth?

Accepted Answer

$$4.0 	imes 10^5$ Pa

Question 13

If the pressure at a certain depth in a fluid is $$3.0 	imes 10^5$ Pa and the atmospheric pressure is 1.0$$ 	imes $$10^5 Pa$$, what is the pressure due to the fluid column alone?

Accepted Answer

$$2.0 	imes 10^5$ Pa

Question 14

A block is floating in water with half its volume submerged. What is the density of the block relative to water?

Accepted Answer

Half the density of water

Question 15

Which of the following best explains why the pressure at a given depth in a fluid does not depend on the shape of the container?

Accepted Answer

Because of Pascal's Law, which states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid.

Question 16

A glass of mercury (density $$13.6 	imes 10^3$ kg/m^3$) and a glass of water (density 1.0$$ 	imes $$10^3 kg/m$^3) $$are both filled to the same height. Which glass has the greater pressure at the bottom?

Accepted Answer

The glass of mercury, because mercury is denser.

Question 17

A cube of unknown material floats in water with $$70\% of $$its volume submerged. What is the density of the material?

Accepted Answer

$$0.70 	imes 10^3$ kg/m^3$

Question 18

Accepted Answer

$$F_B = \rho V g$$

Question 19

A sealed tank contains oil (density $$900 kg/m$^3) to a $$depth of $$10 m. If $$the air pressure above the oil is $$2.0 	imes 10^5$ Pa, what is the absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank? (g = 9.8$ m/s^2$)

Accepted Answer

$$2.88 	imes 10^5$ Pa
