Figure (a) below shows a metal block hanging from a spring scale, with the scale measuring 5.25 N. In figure (b), the suspended block is submerged in water, and the now scale reads 3.90 N. What is the density (in kg/m3) of the block? (Hint: the free-body diagram to the right of figure (b) shows the forces acting on the block, with B→ and T→ pointing up and Mg→ pointing down.) a b kg/m3

part 1 of 2 A beaker of mass 1.1 kg containing 2.9 kg of water rests on a scale. A 3.2 kg block of a metallic alloy of density 5300 kg/m3 is suspended from a spring scale and is submerged in the water of density 1000 kg/m3 as shown in the figure. What does the hanging scale read? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Answer in units of N. part 2 of 2 What does the lower scale read?

A beam resting on two pivots has a length of L = 6.00 m and mass M = 91.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot placed a distance ℓ = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 58.5 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in the figure below. The goal is to find the woman's position when the beam begins to tip. (i) (a) Sketch a free-body diagram, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman x meters to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) Choose file no file selected This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Where is the woman when the normal force n1 is the greatest? x = m (c) What is n1 when the beam is about to tip? N (d) Use the force equation of equilibrium to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip. N (e) Using the result of part (c) and the torque equilibrium equation, with torques computed around the second pivot point, find the woman's position when the beam is about to tip. x = m (f) Check the answer to part (e) by computing torques around the first pivot point. x = m Except for possible slight differences due to rounding, is the answer the same? Yes No

Two blocks are set up as shown. The blocks are released from rest and static friction is not enough to hold them. The pulley has no mass. The system moves to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.350 and θ = 35.0. The mass of the block on the ramp is m1 = 25.0 kg and the mass of the hanging block is m2 = 40 kg. a. Sketch and label all the forces acting on each of the blocks. (You may draw these forces on the image or in free-body diagrams.) b. What is the rate of acceleration of the blocks? c. What is the tension in the rope?
