Suppose you are at the top of Mount Everest and you fill a water balloon. The air pressure at the top of Mount Everest is 58 kPa. a. What is the fractional change in the balloons volume V/Vi when you take it to sea level? b. If instead you take it 100 m below the surface of the ocean, what is the fractional change in its volume?
Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.
Suppose you have a coffee mug with a circular cross section and vertical sides (uniform radius). What is its inside radius if it holds 385 g of coffee when filled to a depth of 7.5 cm? Assume coffee has the same density as water of 1000 kg/m³. Think & Prepare 1. What is the shape of the coffee mug? How would you calculate the volume of the coffee mug? r= cm
A group of students wish to determine, experimentally, the bulk density of an unknown material. To determine this amount, the students measured the diameter, height, and mass of various cylinders. These values appear in the table below. Determine: c) The volumetric density of the material from which the cylinders are made. d) Determine the volume of a sphere that has a mass of 800g and that is made of the same material as the cylinders used in the table above. e) Determine the radius of the sphere.
Please answer parts B, C and D! A beachball has a diameter of 24 cm and weighs about 6N. A-What is the volume of the beachball? Then, use this number to calculate the beachball’s average density in kg m-3. B-What is the volume of water displaced by the beachball if it is in the pool? C- Now, using a rope, you tie the beachball to the bottom of the pool so only half of the ball is submerged. What would the diagram look like? D- What is the buoyant force of the tethered beachball? What is the tension on the rope?

You are in charge of receiving a shipment of new packing (aka tower fill) for a benzene stripping tower at work (see figures on the following pages for an example schematic of a stripping tower and examples of tower fillI). The packing for this specific tower is small spheres, with a radius of 1.5 inches. What is the volume of one of the spheres in cubic feet? a. V = 1).14 in3 •T- L53. 14.13717 The volume of the entire tower is 1000 ft3, and 40% of that volume must be filled with packing material. The rest of the volume is needed for distributors, supports, mist eliminators, and other equipment. b. What is the total volume of packing spheres needed? Gor is for C. Approximately how many packing spheres are needed for the tower? You receive the order of packing material and count five crates, each 4ft x 4ft x 4ft. Did you receive the full order? How do you know?
