Question
Consider the system shown in the figure (Figure 1) . Assume that after the string breaks the ball falls through the liquid with constant speed, the mass of the bucket and the liquid is 1.20kg , and the mass of the ball is 0.180kg .
Part A
Find the reading on the scale before the string breaks.
Part B
Find the reading on the scale after the string breaks, assuming the ball falls through the liquid with an acceleration equal to 0.300g .
Consider the system shown in the figure (Figure 1) . Assume that after the string breaks the ball falls through the liquid with constant speed, the mass of the bucket and the liquid is 1.20kg , and the mass of the ball is 0.180kg . Part A Find the reading on the scale before the string breaks. Part B Find the reading on the scale after the string breaks, assuming the ball falls through the liquid with an acceleration equal to 0.300g .Explanation / Answer
A) Before the spring breaks the scale will read 1.38kg. This is the sum of the bucket, fluid and ball.
B) The problem states that the ball falls at a constant velocity but that it feels an acceleration of .300g. This means that the scale will feel the weight of the bucket, fluid and .300 of the ball. This means the scale will read 1.254kg.
