A string holds a 100-kg Iron sphere 2 meters below the surface of the Ocean. If the volume of water displaced by the sphere is 0.05 m3, what is the tension in the string? The density of saltwater is 1025 kg/m3. (Hint: Make a force diagram of the string and sphere)
A cylinder that is h1=18.0 cm tall and open on top is filled with water. If a hole is made in the side of the cylinder, Δh=3.90 cm below the top level, how far x from the base of the cylinder will the stream land? Assume that the cylinder is large enough so that the level of the water in the cylinder does not drop significantly.

You are designing a hydraulic lift for an automobile garage. It will consist of two oil-filled cylindrical pipes of different diameters. A worker pushes down on a piston (with a diameter of 25 cm) at one end, raising the car on a platform at the other end. To handle a full range of jobs, you must be able to lift cars up to 3,149 kg, plus the 451 kg platform on which they are parked. To avoid injury to your workers, the maximum amount of force a worker should need to exert is 133 N. What should be the diameter of the pipe under the platform if the diameter? Use g = 9.8 m . Express answers in meters (m).
A horizontal water pipe is constricted and tapers to a smaller radius. The speed of the water as it passes through the constricted section will be greater. What about the pressure of the water flowing into this pipe? Answers: a) The water pressure will be the same in the widest section as in the narrowest of the pipe. b) The water pressure will be higher when it flows through the narrowest section of the pipe. c) The water pressure will be higher when it flows through the widest section of the pipe. d) There is no relationship between the velocity and the pressure of the water flowing inside the pipe.
A geologist finds that a moon rock whose mass is 8.25 kg has an apparent mass of 6.15 kg when submerged in water. What is the density of the moon rock? Given that the density of water is 1,000 kg/m³. Include a diagram of the situation.

An open barge has the dimensions shown in Fig. . If the barge is made out of 4.0-cm-thick steel plate on each of its four sides and its bottom, what mass of coal can the barge carry in freshwater without sinking? Is there enough room in the barge to hold this amount of coal? (The density of coal is about 1500 kg/m3.)
You place an open bottle filled with olive oil (density 880 kg/m^3) in a container filled with water so that the surfaces of both liquids are at the same level. The bottle has a hole in it 18cm below the surface that is initially closed with adhesive tape, as shown in (Figure 1). Determine the vertical distance Δh between the oil surface and water surface after the tape is removed and the equilibrium is reached. Assume that the volume of water is much greater than the volume of olive oil, so that the decrease in the water level is negligible.
The pressure in a water tower is 20,256 Pascals (N/m²) higher than at an open faucet. The density of water is 1000 Kg/m'. Use (3. Bernoulli's equation to determine the velocity of outflow from the open faucet. If the height difference between the top water level in the tower and the faucet is 5.1 meters, then the velocity of outflow is
