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

Rather than the linear relationship of Eq. (1.7), you might choose to model the upward force on the parachutist as a second-order relationship.
FU = −c'v2, where c' = a second-order drag coefficient (kg/m).
a. Using calculus, obtain the closed-form solution for the casewhere the jumper is initially at rest (v = 0 at t = 0).b. Repeat the numerical calculation in Example 1.2 with thesame initial condition and parameter values. Use a value of0.225 kg/m for c' .
A frame consisting of a simple span BD, an overhang AB, and a bracket CEF, is supported by a
pin at B and a roller at D (see Figure 2). The beam ABCD has a uniform cross section with a
moment of inertia I = 0.00025 ft. The frame is subjected to a concentrated load P at point Fas
shown in the figure. Take E = 32,000 ksi, L = 12 ft, a = 6 ft, and P = 900 lb.
a) Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams of the horizontal section ABCD using
the graphical method. (Hint: use the method of sections to study CEF first)
b) Using the method of superposition, find an expression for the elastic curve v(x) of the
segment BC. x is a horizontal coordinate measured from point of A. (Hint: select
appropriate cases from the table shown below and use superposition to find v(x) for 0≤
x' ≤3, then translate the origin of the coordinate system to point A to get the final expression
in terms of x).
c) Using the method of integration, find expressions for the elastic curve v(x) of the segments

The figure shows the side view of a portable traffic signal. The upper portion of the signal with attached frame has a mass of 90 kg with mass center at G.
The signal and frame are hinged at point E and rest on a vertical post at H. In operation, member DEH is positioned vertically by means of the hand-operated winch so that the lights are directed to the left. Determine the necessary input force F that will just start to rotate the signal from its horizontal position. Note that handle A is rigidly attached to gear B. The dimension (AB) ̅=200 mm.

- Suppose that a cylindrical container of radius r and height L is filled with a liquid with volume V , and rotated along the y-axis with constant angular speed ω. This makes the liquid rotate, and eventually at the same angular speed as the container. The surface of the liquid becomes convex as the centrifugal force on the liquid increases with the distance from the axis of the container. The surface of the liquid is a paraboloid of revolution generated by rotating the parabola y = h + ω2x2/2g around the y-axis, where g is gravitational acceleration and h is shown below. (You can take g=32ft/s2 or 9.8m/s2). Express h as a function of ω. (2) At what angular speed ω will the surface of the liquid touch the bottom? At what speed will it spill over the top?

- The ammonia molecule can be treated as a symmetric rigid rotator, with its 3 hydrogen atoms lying in the xy plane and the nitrogen atom lying above the plane on the z axis, as shown in the attached image. If we call the moment of inertia about the z acis I3, and the moments about the pair of axes perpendicular to the z axis I1, the rotational energy of the molecule can be written as Eq 1 (see provided image). Say that at time t = 0, the wave function of the ammonia molecule is given as Eq 2 (see provided image), where the Yl, m1(θ, Φ) are the sphereical harmonics.
