|| A 76.0 kg boulder is rolling horizontally at the top of a vertical cliff that is 20.0 n above the surface of a lake, as shown in Figure 3.42. The top of the vertical face of a dam is located 100 0 m from the foot of the cliff, with the :op of the cam level with the surface of the water n the lake. A level plain is 25.0 n below the top of the dam. (a) What must the minimum speed of the rock be just as it leaves the cliff so that t will travel to the plain without s:r king the dam? (b) How far from the foot of the dam does the rock hit the plan?

- Water is shot nearly vertically upward in a decorative fountain and the steam observed to broaden as it rises. Conversely, a stream of water falling straight down from a faucet narrows. Explain why.arrow_forwardIs it easier for a large person to float in a lake than a small person? Explain.arrow_forwardWhy is force exerted by static fluids always perpendicular to a surface?arrow_forward
- What is density of a woman floats in fresh water with 4.00% of her volume above the surface? (This could be measured by placing her in a Wii marks on the side to measure how much water she displaces when floating and when held under water.) (b) What percent of her volume is above surface when she floats in seawater?arrow_forwardA straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)arrow_forwardA rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the rock? (c) What is its average density? Is this consistent with the value for granite?arrow_forward
- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P4.22). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?arrow_forwardA container of water has a cross-sectional area of A=0.1m2 . A piston sits top of the water (see be following figure). There is a spout located 0.15 m from the bottom of tank, open to the atmosphere, and a stream of water exits the spout. The cross sectional area of the spat is As=7.0104m2 . (a) What is the velocity of the water as it leaves the spout? (b) If the opening of the spout is located 1.5 m above the grand, how far from be pout does water hit the floor? Ignore friction and dissipative forces.arrow_forwardThe flow of blood through a 2.00106 m -radius capillary is 3.80109cm3/s . (a) What is the speed of be blood now? (b) Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 90.0 cm3/s?arrow_forward
- Calculate the speed a spherical rain drop would achieve falling from 5.00 km (a) in the absence of air drag (b) with air drag. Take the size across of the drop to be 4 mm, the density to be 1.00103 kg/m3, and the surface area to be r2.arrow_forward: The force of surface tension on a ring Q.2 situated on the surface of water is 14π × 10^ N. Then the diameter of the ring is (surface tension of water is 70 × 10³ N/m).arrow_forwardA semi sphere bowl with a radius of 2.6cm and mass of 70g is placed like a boat in a swimming pool. Loaded with 1 peso pennies. If the mass and the volume of one peso penny is 6.1 g and 0.30cm^3. How many one peso pennies can be placed in the bowl without sinking?arrow_forward
