Chapter 8, Problem 31RQ
A 2-liter [L] soda bottle, made of PET, will fail at approximately 150 pound-force per square inch [psi] of pressure. If you were to dive straight down into the ocean with a 2-liter [L] bottle, at what depth in units of feet [ft] would the bottle fail? Assume the specific gravity of ocean water is 1.025.

A plastic bin with a volume of 1 gallon [gal] has a mass of 0.35 kilograms [kg] when empty and is sitting
on a table in a warehouse.
After the bin becomes partially filled, 1.3 pounds-force [lb] of force is applied to move the bin across the
table, and the bin and its contents accelerate at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared Ignore

A robot is exploring Charon, the dwarf planet Pluto's largest moon. Gravity on Charon is 0.278 meters per second [m/s2]. During its investigations, the robot picks up a small spherical rock for inspection. The rock has a diameter of 6 centimeters [cm] and is lifted 16 centimeters [cm] above the surface. The specific gravity of the rock is 10.7. The mechanism lifting the rock is powered by a 9-volt [V] power supply and draws 1.09 milliamperes [mA] of current. It requires 13 seconds [s] to perform this lifting task. What is the efficiency of the robot?
