What’s New
1. / The pencil just bounces.
x The drop produced a hole on the cellophane.
/ Nothing happened to the cellophane.
2. x The pencil just bounces.
/ The drop produced a hole on the cellophane.
x Nothing happened to the cellophane.
3. / The pencil’s sharpened end has less area, thus the pressure it exerted to the
cellophane when dropped is great thus producing a hole.
x The pencil’s sharpened end has less area, thus the force it exerted to the
cellophane when dropped is less thus not producing a hole.
/ The pencil’s flat end has great area, thus the pressure it exerted to the
cellophane when dropped is less thus not producing a hole.
x The pencil’s flat end has greater area, thus the force it exerted to the
cellophane when dropped is great thus producing a hole.

What I Have Learned
1. Given: Car’s weight (w) = 16,000 N
Area of B (AB) = 4000 cm2
= 4000 / 10,000 m2
= 4 / 10 m2
= 0.4m2
Area of A (AA) = 50 cm2
= 50 / 10,000 m2
= 0.005 m2
Required: Force
F w
Solution: =
AA AB
F 16,000 N

¿ 40,000 N ( 0.005) N (0.005)
F=200 N
2. Given: Small cross section area (A1) = A
Large cross-sectional area (A2) = 20A
Input force (F1) = 25 N
Required: Output force (F2)
F1 F 2
Solution: =
A1 A2

25 F2
=
A 20 A

A F2 =( 25 ) (20 A )
 A F 2 (25)(20 A )
=
A A
F 2=( 25 ) ( 20 )

F 2=500 N

Activity 6
2. a. to find the buoyant force, simply draw a free-body diagram. The force of
gravity is balanced by the buoyant force:
ΣF = ma
Fb - mg = 0
Fb = mg = 4.9 N
b. By Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of fluid
displaced.
Fb = ρVdispg
Vdisp= Fb/ρg = 4.9/(1000*9.8) = 5 x 10-4 m3
c. To find the density of the ball, we need to determine its volume. The volume
of a sphere is:
V = (4/3)πr3;
r = 0.11 m,
V = 5.58 x 10-3 m3, we get: volume of basketball
ρ = m/V = 0.5 / 5.58 x 10-3 = 90 kg/m3
Another way to find density is to use the volume of displaced fluid. For a
floating object, the weight of the object equals the buoyant force, which
equals the weight of the displaced fluid.
mg = Fb = ρfluid Vdisp g
m = ρobject V,
ρobject V = ρfluid VdispFactors of g cancelled.
ρobject / ρfluid = Vdisp/V

Additional Activity
Fluid Statics

What is fluid?
You probably think that
Fluid as a liquid but
It's just anything that can flow

A fluid is a substance
Such as liquid or gas
That has no rigidity like solids
It always normal to the surface

Fluid statics is the field of physics

That involves the study of fluids
Static fluid depends only on the pressure
And the depth of the point of the fluid
