AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the effects of pressure on the buoyancy of a cylinder with a movable piston. The cylinder's weight is 1.5 times its own mass, and the initial buoyant force is determined by the water. Participants are tasked with calculating the necessary length ratio for the cylinder to sink under varying pressure conditions, both with and without considering water depth. Some users express confusion about whether to factor in the entire container or just specific lengths. The thread was ultimately locked due to unclear responses and the need for more detailed explanations in the answers.

Homework Statement


A cylinder shape object with a movable piston is 1.5 times of its own weight. The mass of object is figure. The initial buoyant force of the object is the waterVt.41 R Pititon iri, cylinder is Vi. and P1. Ignore the net volume of the tinder aP Before floating in the water container as shown in the Ina, and the volume and pressure of air inside Piston 1 cylinder material. The pressure at the top of water After container is set to be 0. Assume the temperature is (1)SP is applied from an external syringe. (2) and (3) show shapes of the cylinder before and after applying so P. constant. (a) Find out the required ratio of length /2/11 to make the object start to sink. [2 points] (b) In a case that we ignore the pressure due to water depth, find the minimum pressure aP to be applied to the water in order to make the object sink. [4 points] (c) In a case that we consider the pressure due to water depth, find the minimum pressure a p to be applied to the water in order to make the object sink. [4 points]

Well I am sorry but i have an exam coming up so what i can do is a simple OCR. if you click the imgur link it is perfectly visible.

Homework Equations


P=P0+ρgh
F=mg=ρgV

The Attempt at a Solution


1 and 2 is about it but i don't know whether to consider the l1 and l2 or the whole container.
again, this imgur link is good.

As I posted before, your answers to parts a and b look fine, but the last part is unintelligible.
Take the trouble to type your working in and explain what you are doing.
That's why @Mark44 closed the thread.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
