7.15 A new sports stadium is being proposed for a city in North Dakota. Some of the project details are as follows. To prepare for the footing and foundation 300 000 cubic yards of dirt will need to be removed. It will have an inflatable roof that covers 10.0 acres and its interior volume will be 60.0 × 106 cubic feet. During construction, 40.0 × 103 cubic yards of concrete, 11.9 × 103 tons of reinforcing steel and 5.00 × 102 tons of structural steel will be utilized. The roof material will include an outer layer of Teflon-coated fiberglass together with an inner layer of woven fiberglass. Given this information, answer the following: (a) If removed evenly over the 10 acres, how deep of a hole would be formed as a result of the excavation? (b) What is the total mass of concrete and steel in lbm? (c) If the two-layer fiberglass roofing material has a mass of 0.6667 lbm/ft², what is the total mass of the roof? (d) If 10.0 in, of wet snow is collected on the roof, what is the added mass to the roof? (Assume 1 in. of water equals 10 in. of snow.)

Australia 108 is a 319 m high tower in Melbourne. It has four water supply tanks located high in the building. Briefly explain why using water supply tanks is preferred over using water from the street-level water mains supply. Hint: In your answer, make sure that the reason is related to a physics principle covered in this unit.
A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.4 m long, 2.4 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 1.3 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 Units
You stack solid blocks on top of each other. How many of these blocks do you need to create a pressure, from their total weight, that is equal to 2.2 atmospheres on the ground they are resting on? Each blocks weighs 362.2 N and has dimensions of 0.73 m x 0.22 m x 0.2 m. Answer with 3DDP, something like 1.234 blocks.

A fuel oil tank is an upright cylinder, buried so that its circular top is 12 feet beneath ground level. The tank has a radius of 5 feet and is 15 feet high, although the current oil level is only 12 feet deep. Calculate the work required to pump all of the oil to the surface. Oil weighs 50lb/ft^3.
A raft is made of 11 logs lashed together. Each is 41 cm in diameter and has a length of 6.2 m . How many people can the raft hold before they start getting their feet wet, assuming the average person has a mass of 67 kg ? Do not neglect the weight of the logs. Assume the specific gravity of wood is 0.60.
The cube with 2.00 m wide and 2.00 m long and 2.00 m high has a weight of 900.00 N. What pressure does it exert?
In the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli’s equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, a ≈ dV 1/3. For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.88 × 10−11 m, which is roughly correct for N2 .
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
