A. QUESTION
1. Two objects differ in density and mass. Object A has a mass that eight times the mass of object B. The density of
1
object A is four times the density of object B. How do their volumes compare? (a) 𝑉𝐴 = 2 𝑉𝐵 , (b) 𝑉𝐴 = 𝑉𝐵 , (c) 𝑉𝐴 =
2𝑉𝐵 , (d) Not enough information is given to compare their volumes.
2. As you climb a mountain, your ears “pop” because of the changes in atmospheric pressure. In which direction,
outward or inward, does your eardrum move (a) as you climb up and (b) as you climb down?
3. Two liquids, 1 and 2, are in equilibrium in a U-tube that is open at both ends, as in the
drawing. The liquids do not mix, and liquid 1 rests on top of liquid 2. How is the
density 𝜌1 of liquid 1 related to the density 𝜌2 of liquid 2? (a) 𝜌1 is equal 𝜌2 because
the liquids are in equilibrium. (b) 𝜌1 is greater than 𝜌2 . (c) 𝜌1 is less than 𝜌2 . (d) There
is not enough information to tell which liquid has the greater density.
4. As a person dives toward the bottom of a swimming pool, the pressure increases noticeably. Does the buoyant
force acting on her also increase? Neglect any change in water density with depth.
B. PROBLEMS
1. An office window has dimensions 3.4 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure
drops to 0.96 atm, but inside the pressure is held at 1.0 atm. What net force pushes out on the window?
2. The maximum depth 𝑑𝑚𝑎𝑥 that a diver can snorkel is set by the density of the water and the fact that human lungs
can function against a maximum pressure difference (between inside and outside the chest cavity) of 0.050 atm.
What is the difference in 𝑑𝑚𝑎𝑥 for fresh water (𝜌 = 0,998 × 103 kg/m3 ) and the water of the Dead Sea (the
saltiest natural water in the world, with density of 1.5 × 103 kg/m3 )?
3. For the system shown in figure, the cylinder on the left, at L, has a mass of
600 kg and a cross-sectional area of 800 cm2 . The piston on the right, at S,
has a cross-sectional area of 25 cm2 and a negligible weight. If apparatus is
filled with oil (𝜌𝑜𝑖𝑙 = 0,78 g/cm3 ), find the force 𝐹 required to hold the
system, in equilibrium as shown.
5. A plastic ball has radius 12.0 cm and floats in water (𝜌𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 103 kg/m3 ) with 24.0% of its volume submerged.
(a) What force must you apply to the ball to hold it at rest totally below the surface of the water? (b) If you let go
of the ball, what is its acceleration the instant you release it?
6. A small solid ball is released from rest while fully submerged in a liquid and
then its kinetic energy is measured when it has moved 4.0 cm in the liquid.
Figure gives the results after many liquids are used: The kinetic energy 𝐾 is
plotted versus the liquid density 𝜌liq , and 𝐾𝑠 = 1.60 J sets the scale on the
vertical axis. What are (a) the density and (b) the volume of the ball?
7. Water is flowing in a pipe with a varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water completely fills the pipe.
At point 1 the cross-sectional area of the pipe is 0.070 m2 and the magnitude of the fluid velocity is 3.5 m/s. (a)
What is the fluid speed at points in the pipe where the cross-sectional area is (i) 0.105 m2 and (ii) 0.047 m2 (b)
Calculate the volume of water discharged from the open end of the pipe in 1.00 hour.
