Chapter 1, Problem 26P
Beyond fluids, Archimedes' principle has proven useful in geology when applied to solids on the earth's crust. Figure P1.26 depicts one such case where a lighter conical granite mountain “floats on” a denser basalt layer at the earth's surface. Note that the part of the cone below the surface is formally referred to as a frustum. Develop a steady-state force balance for this case in terms of the following parameters: basalt's density

2 A US Navy nuclear submarine (mass m = 10,000,000 kg) is cruising under the Arctic ice sheet at a depth of 200 m. (a) If the submarine is maintaining constant depth while cruising, what is the size of the buoyant force on it? (b) Assuming that the density of seawater is 1023 kg/m3, what is the volume of the submarine? (c) What is the water pressure at the cruising depth of the submarine (remember that the pressure increase due to the depth has to be added to the pressure at the surface, which is the atmospheric pressure PATM = 101,000 Pa)? (d) This submarine is fitted with a circular window of area A = 0.1 m2. Find the net force on this window (i.e., force from outside minus force from the inside) assuming that the air pressure inside the submarine is equal to PATM.
Seawater has a density of 1030 kg/m3.
You are designing a deep sea submersible
that has a volume of 17 m3 and is shaped
like a sphere. If the walls of the submersible
are made out of stainless steel with a
density of 7700 kg/m3 , how thick should
the walls be to create a neutrally buoyant
submersible?
A person is 1.65 m tall.
a. Calculate the difference in blood pressure between the feet and top of the head
of this person.
To make sense of your answer, convert your answer to the unit of atm
(101325 Pa = 1 atm). The density of blood is Pblood = 1.06 × 10³ kg/m³.
b. Consider a cylindrical segment of a blood vessel 2.00 cm long and 1.50 mm in
diameter. What additional outward force would such a vessel need to withstand
in the person's feet compared to a similar vessel in her head?
c. Justify how you solved for the area of the blood vessel.

- The largest animal is found in sea as it requires no energy to support its weight by using hydrostatic principle. However bird has to support its own weight by using Bernoulli principle to create pressure difference while in flight. Bird cannot be very large and there are also fewer species of large bird than small bird. The reasons are: (i) (ii) There is less food in the air than in the sea. The bone structure of the bird has to be light and it is structurally more difficult to maintain the strength to weight ratio as the bird becomes larger. The lift and drag on a bird is due to viscous and pressure forces. They are surface forces proportional to the length square while the weight of a bird due to gravity is proportional to the length cube. At large length scale, length square is much smaller than length cube and it becomes difficult to generate lift to support a bird in flight.

- Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.arrow_forwardAs shown in the figures below, and the Video, a rectangular barge floats in a stable configuration provided the distance between the center of gravity, CG, of the object (boat and load) and the center of buoyancy, C, is less than a certain amount, H.
