A 62.0-kg survivor of a cruise line disaster rests atop a block of Styrofoam insulation, using it as a raft. The Styrofoam has dimensions 2.00 m 2.00 m 0.090 0 m. The bottom 0.024 m of the raft is submerged. (a) Draw a force diagram of the system consisting of the survivor and raft. (b) Write Newtons second law for the system in one dimension, using B for buoyancy, w for the weight of the survivor, and wr for the weight of the raft. (Set a = 0.) (c) Calculate the numeric value for the buoyancy, B. (Seawater has density 1 025 kg/m3.) (d) Using the value of B and the weight w of the survivor, calculate the weight w, of the Styrofoam. (e) What is the density of the Styrofoam? (f) What is the maximum buoyant, force, corresponding to the raft being submerged up to its top surface?

A boat develops a leak and, after its passengers are rescued, eventually sinks to the bottom of a lake. When the boat is at the bottom, what is the force of the lake bottom on the boat? (a) greater than the weight of the boat (b) equal to the weight of the boat (c) less than the weight of the boat (d) equal 10 the weight of the displaced water (e) equal to the buoyant force on the boat
Logs sometimes float vertically in a lake because one end has become water-logged and denser than the other. What is the average density of a uniform-diameter log that floats with 20.0% of its length above water?
You can squirt water a considerably greater distance by placing your thumb over the end of a garden hose and then releasing, than by leaving it completely uncovered. Explain how this works.
The alveoli in emphysema victims are damaged and effectively form larger sacs. Construct a problem in which you calculate the loss of pressure due to surface tension in the alveoli because of their larger average diameters. (Part of the lung's ability to expel air results from pressure created by surface tension in the alveoli.) Among the things to consider are the normal surface tension of the fluid lining the alveoli, the average alveolar radius in normal individuals and its average in emphysema sufferers.
A skydiver will reach a terminal velocity when the air drag equals their weight. For a skydiver with high speed and a large body, turbulence is a factor. The drag force then is approximately proportional to the square of the velocity. Taking the drag force to be FD=12Av2 and setting this equal to the person's weight, find the terminal speed for a person falling "spread eagle." Find both a formula and a number for vt, with assumptions as to size.
The dolphin tank at an amusement park is rectangular in shape with a length of 40.0 m, a width of 15.0 m, and a depth of 7.50 m. The tank is filled to the brim to provide maximum splash during dolphin shows. What is the total amount of force exerted by the water on a. the bottom of the tank, b. the longer wall of the tank, and c. the shorter wall of the tank?
A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force and the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while the drag force is assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs=6rv. Show that the terminal speed is given by v=2R2g9(s1), where R is the radius of the sphere, s is its density, and 1 is the density of the fluid and the coefficient of viscosity.
Consider a group of people trying to stay afloat after their boat strikes a log in a lake. Construct a problem in which you calculate the number of people that can cling to the log and keep their heads out of the water. Among the variables to be considered are the size and density of the log, and what is needed to keep a person's head and arms above water without swimming or treading water.
Why is it preferable for airplanes to take off into the wind rather than with the wind?
(a) A wry powerful vacuum cleaner has a hose 2.86 cm in diameter. With the end of the hose placed perpendicularly on the flat face of a brick, what is the weight of the heaviest brick that the cleaner can lift? (b) What If? An octopus uses one sucker of diameter 2.86 cm on each of the two shells of a clam in an attempt to pull the shells apart. Find the greatest force the octopus can exert on a clamshell in salt water 32.3 m deep.
(a) Calculate the retarding force due to viscosity of the air layer between a cart and a level air track given the following information: air temperature is 20°C, the cart is moving at 0.400 m/s, surface area is 2.50102 m2, ad thickness of air layer is 6.00105 m. (b) What is the ration of this force to the weight of the 0.300-kg cart?
