A new foam-like material called Aerogel is the lightest, most porous solid material ever made. The specific gravity of Aerogel is only 0.00325. A standard pick-up truck holds a volume of about 48.0 ft3. Determine the number of these trucks that would be required to transport 1.00 ton (i.e., 2000 lb) of Aerogel.

A passenger is standing on a scale in an elevator. The building has a height of 500 feet, the passenger has a mass of 80 kg, and the scale has a mass of 7 kg. The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale.Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal). NS→P: The force of the scale pushing up on the passenger (normal). NO→S: The force of the elevator pushing up on the scale (normal). NO→P: The force of the elevator pushing up on the passenger (normal) a) While it is accelerating downward, which of the forces in your…
