2.51 A water bug is suspended on the surface of a pond by sur- face tension (water does not wet the legs). The bug has six legs, and each leg is in contact with the water over a length of 5 mm. What is the maximum mass (in grams) of the bug if it is to avoid sinking? 5 mm mm PROBLEM 2.51

A squid is drifting at 1 mph to the right and squirts out 100 ml of water. The squid plus water weigh 1.5 kilograms. This squid has a growth that narrows and distorts the orifice so that the water exits the squid at an angle of 30 degrees to the direction of travel and at a speed of 80mph. What is the new speed and direction of the squid after it expels the water?
An 'anti-drowning' bracelet is a water safety device. It contains a CO2 cartridge that can quickly inflate an airbag to help a diver rise to the surface in an emergency situation. Robert Irwin (son of "The ID: 2 0 1 Rep: 2 1 0 Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin) is snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef Eq: 1 0 (Pseawater 1029 kg/m3). He swims 5.0 m below the surface of the water when there is an emergency and he activates the bracelet. The mass of Robert and his gear is 69.2 kg and the volume of salt water he displaces is 0.07 m3 before the safety device is activated. Once he activates the device, it inflates to a volume of 0.01 m3.

Problem 1: The puffer fish (tetradontiade) can employ a defense mechanism whereby it fills its stomach with water until the fish is almost spherical in shape. The shape, in conjunction with its external spines, are a significant deterrent to predators. Suppose that a puffer fish takes in water until its mass has increased by f = 1.52 times its initial mass. In this state, and initially at rest, the puffer fish expels the water with a speed s in one direction, while the fish recoils in the opposite direction at a speed v. For this problem neglect the drag-force effects of the surrounding ocean water. Part (a) Write an expression for v/s in terms of f. Part (b) What is the numerical value of your answer to part (a)?
A merchant in Kathmandu sells you a solid-gold, 1.5-kg statue for a very reasonable price. When you get home, you wonder whether you got a bargain, so you lower the statue into a container of water and measure the volume of displaced water. Find the volume of water displaced for 1.5 kg of pure gold. v =
