ive been reading up a little bit, (a very little bit actually, i have really bad science info sources lol) about electrorheological fluids, now as i understand it, these fluids increse in viscosity as voltage increses. doesn't this meen taht density or mass should increece also? couldn't that...
This one got me.
Any help?
Regardless of if its being homework, respond if you can.
A life preserver with a volume of .05m^3 will support a 80kg person with a specific gravity of .92, in seawater, specific gravity of 1.03, the person is 20% above water(volume-wise) and the preserver is...
An object weighing 315 N in air is immersed in water after being tied to a string connected to a balance. The scale now reads 260 N. Immersed in oil, the object weighs 275 N. Find the density of the object in kg/m3.
I found the mass of the object to be 32.142857kg and the apparent mass when...
Every second, 1.2 cubic meters of water enters a heating system through a pipe of medium width, A, with a cross sectional area of .2 meters squared. The water then flows into a wide pipe, B, with an area of .6 meters squared, and flows out through a narrow peipe, C, with an area of .1 meters...
Hi, i have a quick question regarding the above subject.
If
F(b) = (rho) (V) (9.8)
and F(b) = F(g)
and F(g) = (m) (9.8)
then wouldn't F(b) = (m) (9.8)

I could use some help on what formula or combination of formulas I am missing.
An iron (p = 7860 kg/m3) cube measuring 15.4 cm on a side is suspended from a wire. Find the tension in the wire when the block is completely submerged in water (p = 1000 kg/m3). The answer is 246 N

Need some assistance on what I am missing
"A tank contains mercury, whose density is 13 600 kg/m3. Find the force exerted by the mercury on a circular plug at the bottom of the tank. The plug has a diameter of 2.54 cm, and is located 37.6 cm below the surface of the mercury". The answer is...
A ship, carrying freshwater to a desert island in the Caribbean, has a horizontal cross-sectional area of 3000 m^2 at the waterline. When unloaded, the ship rises 8.21 m higher in the sea. How much water was delivered?
A pump and its horizontal intake pipe are located 11.5 m beneath the surface of a reservoir. The speed of the water in the intake pipe causes the pressure there to decrease, in accord with Bernoulli's principle. Assuming nonviscous flow, what is the maximum speed with which water can flow...
Hi,
I am Tsering and am studying in the Mahindra UWC of India. I am doing a physics extended essay on How the cross section area of an object(cylinder) will affect the rate of slowing down of the object when dropped from a certain height into a fluid (water in my case). I will try to find the...
I'm currently in the process of an extended experimental investigation for senior physics, and having some problems utilising my results and relating them to any kind of theory.
Here's my sob story:

Hi,
I have two problems that I'm stuck on. Not really sure how to get the answer/what equation to use. Can someone help me?

A problem states that a man with a mass of 55 kg floats with 90% of his body under water.
I jus need to find the weight of his body when submerged in water...i'm was thinking 90% of 55 kg, but i wasn't sure if that was correct...
What's the difference between a fluid's flow rate and flow speed? I use the continuity equation to get the flow speed I thought but I couldn't think of how to get the rate. Here's the exact question if you want that for reference:
A liquid of density equal to 1.85 g/cm^3 flows through two...
A tank of large area is filled with water to a depth of 0.6m. A hole of 6m^2 cross section in the bottom allows water to drain out in a continuous stream. What is the rate at which water flows out the tank in m^3/s?
This is how I figure the problem should be solved:

Keep in mind I have not studied fluid dynamics or plasma stuff at all...
Now, both gases and liquids are fluids. Is a plasma an ionised gas, or an ionised fluid? The reason I ask is because the big difference between the gas and liquid forms of various things is the amount of energy. Is...
