A spherical balloon filled with nitrogen is attached to a 2.5-m-long, 0.055-kg string. The balloon has radius 0.40 m. When released, it lifts a length h of the string when it comes to rest. Find h. Assume the mass of the balloon material is 0.251 kg.
To explore the bottom of a 10-m-deep lake, your friend Tom proposes to get a long garden hose, put one end on land and the other in his mouth for breathing underwater, and descend into the depths. Susan, who overhears the conversation, reacts with horror and warns Tom that he will not be able to inhale when he is at the lake bottom. Why is Susan so worried?
As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a
campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a 47.5° slope up to a
vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put
all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the
rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 19.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip so you put 19.5 kg of rocks in the
anchor bag to balance it out.
What happens when you lower the food bag over the
edge and let go of the anchor bag? The weight of the
bags and the rope are negligible. The ice is smooth
enough to be considered frictionless.
O The anchor bag is on a slope so the food bag will
drop, pulling the anchor bag up.
The motion of the food bag cannot be…

Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface. When the balloon's radius is 1.6 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and the air within it. Do not neglect the buoyant force exerted on the shipping container by the water.

- You are applying for a position with a sea rescue unit and are taking the qualifying exam. One question on the exam is about the use of a diving bell. The diving bell is in the shape of a cylinder with a vertical length of L = 2.50 m. It is closed at the upper circular end and open at the lower circular end. The bell is lowered from air into seawater (ρ = 1.025 g/cm3) and kept in its upright orientation as it is lowered. The air in the bell is initially at temperature Ti = 20.0°C. The bell, with two humans inside, is lowered to adepth (measured to the bottom of the bell) of 27.0 fathoms, or h = 49.4 m. At this depth the water temperature is Tf = 4.0°C, and the bell is in thermal equilibrium with the water. The exam question asks you to compare two situations: (i) No additional gas is added to the interior of the bell as it is submerged. Therefore, water enters the open bottom of the bell and the volume of the enclosed air decreases. (ii) The bell is fitted with pressurized air tanks,…arrow_forwardThe following drawing attached represents the newest ride at a new theme-park for the 2022 season. Scenario: You've been chosen as a test subject for a theme park's newest attraction. This is a single-person roller coaster ride with a 25.0 m drop followed by a plunger/piston device that brings the ride to a stop. The plunger/piston is linked to a 250 kg water-filled cylinder. The cart weighs 75.0 kg and begins at rest at the top of the track. To calculate the total mass of the cart during the ride, add your mass (MY MASS IS 55.7 KG). Friction in the wheels and axles produces 2750 J of thermal and sound energy combined as the cart moves down the track. The plunger/piston at the device's bottom has been designed to stop the cart with a maximum acceleration of 5.00 g's (49.0 m/s2). Answer the problems listed below.

- We are interested in measuring the pressure at different depths below the surface of the ocean. Pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere for every 10 m of depth below the surface (for example, at a depth of 20 m, there are approximately 3 atmospheres of pressure, 2 due the ocean and 1 to the atmosphere itself). Measuring a pressure of x atmospheres without crushing the device costs x² dollars. a. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 100 m down? b. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 1000 m down? c. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 5000 m down?arrow_forwardAs a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food.

The planets are all connected to the center of the sun by means of steel rods of varying lengths and at varying angles relative to the x-axis as shown above. The steel rods are all 0.5 cm in diameter and are made of steel having a density of 7.88 g/cm3. We’d like to suspend the model from it’s center of mass, but it doesn’t look like the center of mass coincides with the position of the Sun. Find the center of mass of the model (direction and angle) relative to the Sun in the center of the model. The Styrofoam spheres are so much lighter in comparison to the rods, that their mass can be neglected. Hint: calculate the center of mass for the x and y dimensions separately, then combine them to get the final answerarrow_forward
- As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle ? up to a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. The mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag. What will be the acceleration ? of the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? Assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless. Express the resulting acceleration ? of the food bag in terms of ? and ?, the acceleration due to gravity. Let the positive direction for this bag be downwards.arrow_forwardA cylindrical tank, shown in the figure, has height 8 m and radius 5 m. a. If the tank is full of water, how much work is required to pump the water to the level of the top of the tank and out of the tank? Use 1000 kg/m³ for the density of water and 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. b. Is it true that it takes half as much work to pump the water out of the tank when it is half full as when it is full? Explain. 5 m 8 marrow_forwardA hurricane is a tropical storm formed over the ocean by low atmospheric pressure. As a hurricane approaches land, inordinate ocean swells with a very high tides accompany the hurricane. Normally for a hurricane, there is an "eye" located at the center with very low wind velocity. Figure Q2a depicts a hurricane hovering over the ocean swell below. The atmospheric pressure at the point 1, generally normal for the ocean, which is located 300 km from the eye is 10 m in mercury (Hg). At point 1, the winds are calm. Given that the density of seawater and mercury is 1023.6 kg/m3 and 13534 kg/m3 , respectively, and the density of air at normal sea level temperature and pressure to be 1.22 kg/m3. i. Apply a proper form of energy conservation principle and estimate the ocean swells at the eye of the hurricane at point 3 (h1) and point 2 (h2). Please note that the wind velocity at the eye of the hurricane (point 3) is very low and the wind velocity at point 2 is 70 m/s. List down all the…arrow_forward
