    b M = rV = 5510 × 34 π × (6.37 × 106)3
      
    = 6.0 × 1024 kg
    c The Earth is composed of denser
    materials than hydrogen and helium.
    2 a p = pressure (pascal, Pa) weight tension in string

    ρ = density (kilogram per cubic metre, d p = rgh = 1000 × 9.81 × 0.30 = 2940 Pa
    kg m−3)
    e F = pA = 2940 × 0.202 = 118 N downwards
    g = acceleration due to gravity (metre per
    second squared, m s−2) f p = rgh = 1000 × 9.81 × 0.80 = 7850 Pa
    h = depth in fluid (metre, m) F = pA = 7848 × 0.202 = 314 N upwards
    b 1 Pa = 1 kg m−3 × 1 m s−2 × 1 m = g upthrust = 314 − 118 = 196 N
    1 kg m−1 s−2
    h tension = (upthrust − weight) =
    c volume = 70 m3 (196 − 186) = 10 N
    mass = 59 500 kg i Following the same procedure for Block B:
    weight = 584 kN upper surface: p = rgh
    d 14.0 m 2 = 1000 × 9.81 × 0.50 = 4905 Pa

    e 41.7 kPa F = pA = 4905 × 0.20 × 0.50


    = 491 N downwards
    f 41.7 kPa
    lower surface: p = rgh
    g 143 kPa = 1000 × 9.81 × 0.70 = 6867 Pa
    h decrease F = pA = 6867 × 0.20 × 0.50
    = 687 N upwards
    i 49 kPa
    upthrust = 687 − 491 = 196 N
    3 a The density of the wood is less than that
    of the water, so the blocks will tend to
    float upwards as the upthrust is greater
    than the weight.

    c Cross-sectional area A of the second wire
    c increase in extension = 5.6 − 2.8 = 2.8 mm
    is half that of the first wire; stress is twice
    average force = 37.5 N as large and so strain is twice as large
    provided limit of proportionality is not
    work done = 2.8 × 10−3 × 37.5 = 0.105 J exceeded. Extension = strain × original
    4 a stress: force per unit area; strain: the length, so the extension of the second wire
    extension divided by the original length is four times larger.
