A metal rod and a metal ball more submerged in H2O

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the acceleration of a metal ball submerged in water when the temperature of the water is increased from 30 K to 65 K. Given the volumes and specific heat capacities of both the metal rod and ball, along with their masses, the problem involves understanding hydrostatic principles and thermal expansion. The initial length of the rod is 6 m, and the final calculated acceleration of the ball is 1.8 x 10^10. Participants emphasize the importance of thermal properties and hydrostatic forces in the calculation. The problem illustrates the interplay between temperature changes and the resulting physical effects on submerged objects.

A metal rod and a metal ball more submerged in h2o, such that one end of the rod is adjacent to the ball. if the h2o will be heated from 30 k to 65 k, what is the acceleration of the ball? the initial length of the rod is 6 m.

Vball= 6 cm3
Vrod= 9 cm3
Crod= 13 cal/g.c degrees
Cball= 8 cal/g.c degrees
Ch2o= 1.0 cal/g.c degrees
Mball= 60 g
Mrod= 607 g
α= 0.005/c degrees

Topic is about Hydrostatic

I was absent during the assigning of this homework. I really need help! Thank you! :)

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
