    How Far Does a Block Travel Up an Incline After Shooting from a Spring Gun?

    A block of mass m is placed in a smooth-bored spring gun at the bottom of the incline so that it compresses the spring by an amount x_c. The spring has spring constant k. The incline makes an angle theta with the horizontal and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the...

    How Do You Calculate Pressure at Different Points Inside a Fluid-Filled Barrel?

    The density of the oil is 630 kg/m^3 = 0.63 g/cm^3 The pressure from the oil is 63g/cm^2 per meter depth At 0.11 m deep the pressure from the oil at the interface is 0.11 x 63 = 6.93 g/cm^2 Water pressure is 100g/cm^2 per meter depth At 0.245 m deep the pressure from the water is...

    Calculating Flow Speed & Pressure Difference in a Horizontal Pipe

    I converted 10 cm^3 = 1.0 x 10^-5 m^3 and 40 cm^3 = 4.0 x 10^-5 m^3 v = 6.0 x 10^-3 * (1.0x10^-5/4.0x10^-5) = 1.50x10^-3 m/s ?

    Calculating Water Level Changes in a Partially-Filled Container

    If the air pressure is increased by 1500 Pa the pressure at the bottom of the container is 4000 pa If the original head of water gives a pressure of 2500 Pa and the water is to be drained to reduce the pressure from the head of water to 1000 pa Then the level is to be reduced by 1500/2500...

    Calculating Water Level Changes in a Partially-Filled Container

    A closed container is partially filled with water. Initially, the air above the water is at atmospheric pressure 1.01x10^5 Pa and the gauge pressure at the bottom of the water is 2500 Pa. Then additional air is pumped in, increasing the pressure of the air above the water by 1500 Pa. What...

    Calculate the buoyant force exerted by the water on the sphere

    622 kg * 9.8 = 6095.6 N 6095.6N / (1000 * 9.8) = 0.622 0.622 / 0.700 = 88.9% is this correct?
