1
Shakira, of mass 40 kg, stands in soft mud in her garden. The sole of each of her
shoes has an area of 140 cm. Determine the pressure she creates on the ground
when standing on both feet. (1 m = 100 cm x 100 cm = 10 000 cm, therefore
140 cm = 0.0140 m², i.e. divide by 10 000)
2 Determine the pressure at the bottom of a swimming pool of depth 2.0 m, on a day
when the atmospheric pressure is 1.1 x 10* Pa. The density of water is 1000 kg m.
3
a State the principle of Archimedes.
b Write an equation showing the condition necessary for an object to float.
A raft of weight 500 N floats in water of density 1000 kg m.
a What is the upthrust on the raft?
b Calculate the volume of water displaced by the raft.
5 Explain, in terms of Archimedes' principle, why a hot air balloon rises.
