Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown. The monument is made from tens of thou- sands of small stone blocks of density = 800 kg/m3 . The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. (a) Choosing a coordinate system with x = 0 at the center of the pyramid, y = 0 at the base of the pyramid, and z = 0 at the face of the pyramid shown in the diagram, determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the pyramid in the x, y, and z directions. (b) How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object–Earth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.
A sonar transmitter operates at 2 impulses per second. If the device is held to the surface of fresh water (Assume EB = 2.038 x10 ^9 Pa) and the echo is received midway between impulses, solve the height of the water in m. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
A uniform soda can of mass 0.141 kg is 12.1 cm tall and filled with 0.351 kg of soda (figure below). Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the
soda. (Initially the soda can is full.)
