The bathyscaphe trieste consists of a thin-walled but very strong cylindrical hull, 15.2 m long and 3.66 m in diameter, filled with gasoline with a density of 880 kg/m3 to make it buoyant. if it is totally submerged in seawater with a density of 1025 kg/m3 and neither rising nor sinking, what is the weight of the trieste craft? a) 127 kn

so weight of the Trieste craft is 227 kN

Explanation:

given data

length = 15.2 m

diameter = 3.66 m

density = 880 kg/m³

seawater density = 1025 kg/m³

to find out

what is the weight of the Trieste craft

solution

we know here neither rising nor sinking meaning that

sum of force is zero

so we can say

∑F = 0   1

so

Fb - Fg = 0

Fb = Fg

here Fb is bouyant force

and Fg is gravitational force

and

we know Bouyant foce Fb = ρ(w)Vg

and Fb = mg = ( mt + mh ) g = mt g + mh g

here mt is mass of trieste and mh is mass of hull

we need only weight of trieste so take mt g

so

mt g = Fb - mh g = [ ρ(w) - ρ(gas) ] Vg

mt g  = ( 1025 - 880 ) × πr²l × g

mt g  = 145 × π×1.83²×15.2 × 9.8

mt g = 227242.58 N

so weight of the Trieste craft is 227 kN

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
