Chapter 12.2, Problem 4cT
A third block, C, of the same size and shape as A and B but with slightly greater mass thanblock B is released from rest at the center of the beaker. Two students predict the finalposition of the block and draw the sketch at right.
| Student 1: | Since this block is heavier than block B, it will not go up as high after it is released, as shown at right. |
| Student 2: | Yes, I agree, the buoyant force is slightly less than the weight of this block, so it should come to rest a bit below the surface. |
Explain what is wrong with each statement and with the diagram.

Boat floats because there is a force that is pushing it up. 2. Only the weight of the object determines if the object will sink or float. 3. If I change the shape of the clay, its weight and volume also change. 4. Cutting a wood in half will also make its density half of the original density. 5. The pressure exerted by the fluid at rest on an object is directly proportional to the density of the liquid and depth and is sometimes called as gauge pressure.arrow_forwardImagine two blocks as shown in Figure 10A-1.

The mass of Block E is 2.9 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Block E and the plane is 0.42. The inclined plane is inclined at an angle of θ = 24 degrees above horizontal.
