One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Restore and Improve Urban Infrastructure. Infrastructure includes bridges and roads, but it also includes water and sewer system, railroads, and power grids. In 2016, the state of Washington opened the SR 520 "floating" bridge. The bridge is made of 77 floating concrete boxes anchored to the bed of the lake using 58 steel cables. Each cylindrical cable is 3 inches [in] thick, 1000 feet [ft] long, and made of steel. Assume the specific gravity of steel is 7.9. What is the weight of one cable in units of pound-force [Ib]? E Click the icon to view the conversion table.

A legendary Dutch boy saved Holland by plugging a hole in a dike with his finger, which is 1.10 cm in diameter. (a) If the hole was 1.80 m below the surface of the North Sea (density 1030 kg/m3), what was the force on his finger? 1.73 (b) If he pulled his finger out of the hole, how long would it take the released water to fill 1 acre of land to a depth of 1 ft assuming the hole remained constant in size? (A typical U.S. family of four uses 1 acre-foot of water, 1234 m3, in 1 year.) 2190000 Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. days
At a depth of 10.9 km, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest site in any ocean. Yet, in 1960, Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the Challenger Deep in the bathyscaph Trieste. Assuming that seawater has a uniform density of 1024 kg/m3, approximate the hydrostatic pressure (in atmospheres) that the Trieste had to withstand. (Even a slight defect in the Trieste structure would have been disastrous.)
