A steel safe of weight 1.00 x 10^4 N . is being raised to the top of a building. The steel cable to be used was only 15 m long and so an additional 7 m length of another cable had to be used . If both cables have a diameter of 1.00 cm , and the total stretch of both cables put together is 2.35 cm , What is the Young’s modulus of the second cable ? The weight of both cables is negligible compared to that of the safe .

Archimedes Principle

A glass container is half-filled with mercury , and a steel ball is floating on the mercury . If water is then poured on top of the steel ball and mercury , filling the glass , What will happen to the steel ball ?

a. It will float higher in the mercury .

b. It will float at the same height . v

c. It will float lower in the mercury .

d. It will sink to the bottom of the mercury .

It will float higher in the mercury .

when water is poured , there will be an up thrust (or apparent loss in weight) of the steel ball due to the water displaced by it . Thus , steel ball will becomes slightly lighter and so it will displace less of Hg to counter balance its weight .

A large stone is resting on the bottom of the swimming pool . The normal force of the bottom of the pool on the stone

a. is equal to the weight of the stone

b. is equal to the weight of the water displaced

c. is equal to the sum of the weight of the stone and the weight of the displaced water.

d. is equal to the difference between the weight of the stone and the weight of the displaced water.

Is equal to the difference between the weight of the stone and the weight of the displaced water . This will be the apparent weight of the stone according to Archimede’s Principle .
