Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Determining Density of Fluid

Determine the landing location of a stream of water that comes out of a tank that has a hole punched in the side.

In this problem you will have a tank of fluid get punctured and you will need to find the landing location of the fluid. The tank in which the fluid is housed is pressurized above the value of the atmospheric pressure.

Students must calculate the strength of the gravitational field based on the swinging motion of a pendulum.

Students must determine the density of a rock based on the change in tension in the supporting string when the rock is lowered into a fluid.

This program asks students to determine the specific heat of a fluid based on the amount of temperature change that occurs when a hot object is placed in the fluid.

Students must determine the fluid pressure caused by a column of three immiscible fluids.

Students must determine the flow rate and speed of the water leaving a faucet based on the time it takes to fill a beaker to a certain height and the radius of the faucet the water is exiting from.

Students figure out how much mass can be put in a boat without having the boat go fully under the fluid.

Students determine the flow rate and speed of the water leaving a faucet based on the properties of the beverage dispenser that it is coming from.

Students must determine the force required to hold a syringe in place when a second force is trying to get it to move.
