A bucket that has a mass of 10 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.2 kg/m that must be secured to the bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the building it only has mass 5 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building. Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building. Joules

A wooden raft has a mass of 50 kg. When empty it floats in water (density 1000 kg/m3) with 69% of its volume submerged. What mass of sand can be put on the raft without it sinking?
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
Three liquids that will not mix are poured into a cylindrical container. The volumes and densities of the liquids are 0.450 L, 3.07 g/cm³; 0.399 L, 0.945 g/cm³; and 0.531 L, 0.786 g/cm³. What is the force on the bottom of the container due to these liquids? One liter = 1 L = 1000 cm³. (Ignore the contribution due to the atmosphere.) Number i Units
A fisherman and his buddy climb into a flat-bottomed aluminum fishing boat has a mass of 60 kg and an area of 4.0 m2. When it is launched into the water (density 1,000 kg/m3), the bottom of the boat sinks 0.015m below the surface of the water. If they, along with their gear, have a mass of 300 kg, how much farther (in m) does the boat sink into the water?

A spring is attached to the bottom of an empty swimming pool, with the axis of the spring oriented vertically. An 25.0-kg hollow block of wood (p = 840 kg/m³) is fixed to the top of the spring and compresses it. Then the pool is filled with water, completely covering the block. The spring is now observed to be stretched twice as much as it had been compressed. Determine the percentage of the block's total volume that is hollow. Ignore any air in the hollow space.
