An incompressible box is completely submerged in water at a depth of 60m. The volume of the box is 8L and it has a mass of 30 kg. The buoyant force on the box is 70N.. If the box is brought to a depth of 90m, stae what the mass of the box ,volume of the box and buoyant force on the box will be? Choose one correct answer with the correct units of measure. A. Mass = 70kg Volume = 8L Buoyant force = 30N B. Mass = 30kg Volume = 8 m3 Bouyant force = 70 pound C. Mass = 30kg volume = 8L Buoyant force =70N D. Mass = 8 kg Volume = 30L Buoyant force = 70N

Water flows from a fire truck through a hose that is 11.7 cm in diameter and has a nozzle that is 2.0 cm in diameter. The firemen stand on a hill 3.0 m above the level of the truck. When the water leaves the nozzle, it has a speed of 20.0 m/s. 1) Determine the minimum gauge pressure in the truck's water tank. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) Pa Submit
Keeping a turtle pet requires a clean tank. I clean the turtles tank using a plastic siphon, draining water into a large bucket on the ground. a. The top of the plastic siphon has a wide section, two inches in diameter. How fast does water flow through this section assuming the flow rate is 3.96 m/s.
A liquid-filled tube called a manometer can be used to measure the pressure inside a container by comparing it to the atmospheric pressure and measuring the height of the liquid. Such a device (filled with water) is shown in the figure, measuring the pressure inside a balloon filled with an unknown gas. The water level on the side of the manometer which is open to the air is 22.3 cm higher than on the side connected to the balloon. a) Find the gauge pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa. Recall the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. b) Find the absolute pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa.
