A heavy box is dropped into a lake from a height of 64.6 m above the water level. It hits the water with a certain velocity and continues to sink to the bottom of the lake at this same constant velocity. It reaches the bottom of the lake 16.7 s after it was dropped. How deep is the lake in meters? Answer;

juice storage tank in a processing company was accidently hit by a stone from children playing nearby that caused leakage of the juice. If the top of the tank is open to the atmosphere and the level of juice is 350 cm above the hole, determine the speed at which the juice will leave the hole. Given that s.g. of juice is 1.054, g= 9.8 m/s2. State all assumptions made.
ion 2 Unsaved The radius of an artery narrows from 1.10 cm down to 0.500 cm due to atherosclerosis. This results in a faster blood flow in the narrowed region. The average speed of the blood in the narrow region is 41.0 cm/s. Determine the average speed of the blood in the wide region. Give your answer in units of cm/s, accurate to 1 decimal place. Your Answer: Answer

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. P3.42). (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?

You are standing next to an old well. You want to know how far down the surface of the water is (you are very thirsty), so you hold a rock above the well and drop it. You measure the amount of time between when you release the rock and when you year the splash produced when the stone hits the water at the bottom of the well to be T. You know that the speed of sound in air is vº and the acceleration due to gravity is g. Neglecting air resistance, find the depth of the well.
