A submersible vehicle is in ocean at a depth of 26.2 m. What is the absolute pressure (in Pa) at this depth? The density of the water in the ocean is 1.00 X 103 kg/m³, and the air above is at a pressure of 101.3 kPa. Submit your answer in exponential form.
A helium-filled balloon, whose envelope has a mass of 0.25 kg, is tied to a 2.0-m-long, 0.050-kg string. The balloon is spherical with a radius of 0.40 m. When released, it lifts a length h of the string and then remains in equilibrium. Hint: Only that part of the string above the floor contributes to the load being supported by the balloon. d. If the density of air is ρ_{air}=1.29 kg/m^3 and the density of Helium is ρ_{He}=0.179 kg/m^3, find h.
A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.3 m long, 2.9 m wide, and 2.9 m high. Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface. When the balloon's radius is 1.6 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and the air within it. Do not neglect the buoyant force exerted on the shipping container by the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m³. Number i Units
A 16 cm diameter Styrofoam ball (p = 0.3 g/cm³) is released from the bottom of a tank filled with an unknown liquid. If the terminal speed of the ball is 1.66 m/s, what is the density of the liquid? The drag coefficient of the ball is 0.50. O 0.23 g/cm3 O 0.45 g/cm³ O0.88 g/cm3 O 0.18 g/cm3
We’ve discussed elevators that are raised with cables, but many elevators use pistons. A pump provides fluid at very high pressure to the piston; the resulting force on the piston raises the elevator and passengers. For a typical piston elevator, the mass of the elevator and passengers is 2000 kg and the radius of the piston is a surprisingly small 4.2 cm. The elevator begins to move upward, accelerating at 0.80 m/s2. What is the pressure in the piston?
