Assume:
The buoyant force of the air is neg-
ligible.
Given:
The density of the oil is 822 kg
/
m
3
.
The density of the water salt mixture is
1030 kg
/
m
3
.
A rectangular parallelepiped block of uni-
form density floats in a container which con-
tains oil and salt water as shown.
The
block
sticks
up
above
the
oil
by
a
dis-
tance

43 m.
The oil thickness is
d

38 m.
The block’s depth in the salt
water is

A 24 kg mass and a 16 kg mass are suspended
by a pulley that has a radius of 4
.
7 cm and
a mass of 7 kg.
The cord has a negligible
mass and causes the pulley to rotate without
slipping. The pulley rotates without friction.
The masses start from rest 1

8 m apart. Treat
the pulley as a uniform disk.

A solid sphere of radius 19 cm is positioned
at the top of an incline that makes 22
◦
angle
with the horizontal.
This initial position of
the sphere is a vertical distance 2
.
6 m above
its position when at the bottom of the incline.
The sphere is released and moves down the
incline.
The acceleration of gravity is 9
