Q. What is the SI unit of buoyant force?
Ans: The S.I. unit of buoyant force is Newton. This upward force that acts on an object when immersed in a fluid is called buoyant force. Q. What are the factor on which the buoyant force depends on? Ans: Two main factors on which the buoyant force depends are: (i) Density of the fluid. (ii) Value of acceleration due to gravity at that place. Hence, Buoyant force experienced by a body when submerged in a liquid depends on the volume of the body and the density of the liquid. Q. When an iron nail is placed on the surface of water it sinks whereas ship made up of iron floats. Ans: This is because size or volume of the ship is more. If the density of the liquid is more than the density of the material of the body then the body floats due to the buoyant force exerted by it and vice-versa. Q. What is density? Ans: Density of a substance is the mass of the substance contained in a unit volume of that substance. Density of an object is given as Mass/Volume The density of a substance is one of its characteristic properties and used to determine the purity of any substance. Q. How does floating and Sinking depends on density of water and the density of an object? Ans: If the density of an object is less than the density of water it floats. This means that the up thrust of water on an object is greater than the weight of the object. If the density of an object is more than the density of water it sinks. This means that the up thrust of water on an object is less than the weight of the object. The density of the substance is more than the density of water ( 1 g/ cm3) than it will sink in water. Q. What do you mean by relative density? Ans: Relative density of a substance is the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. It is also called specific gravity. Relative density = Density of substance/density of water Relative density of a substance help us determine the purity of a substance by measuring its relative density Examples: We use lactometer to differentiate between pure and impure(measure the impurity) milk. We can measure the impurity of water using hydrometer. Q. What is meant by the statement relative density of gold is 19.3? Ans: It means that gold is 19.3 times denser than an equal volume of water. Those objects whose relative density is less than one will float in water and those greater than one will sink. Q. Why is it difficult to hold a school bag having a strap made of a thin and strong string? Ans: It is difficult to hold a school bag having a strap made of a thin and strong string because it apply the large pressure on the shoulders due to very small contact surface area . we know that the pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area on which the force acts Q. A solid weigh 75 g in air and 55.6 g in water. Find the relative density? Ans: The relative density = 75/(75-55.6)= 3.866 Q. A cubical block of side 2 cm is lying on a table. If the density of the material of 10,000kg/m3.Find the pressure exerted by the block on the table. Solution: For cubical block given that l = 2 cm = 0.02 m ; Volume, V = (l) 3 = (0.02)3 = 8 × 10– 6 m3 Area of each face A = (l)2 = (0.02)2 = 4 × 10– 4 m2 ; Density of block = ρ = 10000 kg/m3 Mass of the block = ρV = 10000 × 8 × 10– 6 kg ; g =10 m/s2 Pressure = F/A = mg/A = (10000 x 8 x 10– 6 x 10 ) / (4 × 10– 4) = 2000N/m2 |
