83. A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30° north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?

A dock is formed by completely submerging a metal plate and attaching it to an underwater wall. The exposed side of the metal plate faces the ocean and is subjected to the flow of water induced by tides. The plate is 2.5m in height and 20m in width. How much force will the water exert on the metal plate if the current has a velocity of v=3ms at maximum tidal flow?

A 1.2 m3 block aluminum (density 2700 kg/m3) is lowered into seawater (density 1025 kg/m3) by a cable attached to a ship. A) What is the tension in the cable before the block hits the water if it is lowered at a constant rate? B) What is the tension while the block is lowered at a constant rate in the seawater? C) Later the block is pulled back up by the cable. What is the tension in the cable if the block is pulled up with an acceleration of 3 m/s2? (Neglect resistance from the water)
9 of 11 Water, with a density of p = 1135 kg/m³, flows in a horizontal pipe. In one segment of the pipe, the flow speed is U1 = 6.13 m/s. In a second segment, the flow speed is v2 = 3.37 m/s. What is the difference between the pressure in the second segment (P2) and the pressure in the first segment (P1)? P2 – P1 = %3D
