Estimate the mass of water on the earth. The density of water is 1000 kg · m-3. Here are some approximations you can use: Compared with the oceans, lakes and rivers are tiny. Clouds have very low density. There is (still) lots of ice in the polar regions, but much less area than in the oceans. So neglect all except the oceans, which cover roughly 2/3 of the earth. Looking at charts of the oceans, we see that the depth is typically several thousand m (and a serious search tells me the average depth is 4700 m). The radius of the earth s about 6000 km. The surface area of a sphere is 4n R2. This is an order or magnitude question. Express your answer in kg, as a power of 10. For example, if you think the answer is 104 kg, enter 10^4

DEA agents watch drug smugglers load cocaine onto a fishing boat in a Mexican river to transport it down the river to the ocean, and then to Miami. To estimate how much cocaine was loaded, they measure how much further the boat sinks into the water after being loaded. If the boat’s area at the waterline is 50 m2 and it sinks by 2 cm, how much cocaine was loaded?

Two cylindrical cross section water tanks are arranged so that the outflow from tank 1 falls into tank 2. The outflow from tank 2 flows to the drain. ģ is the volumetric flow rate out of a tank, and h is the height of the water in a tank. (a) State the fundamental physical law, and provide the general equation for a tank used to model the time history of the tank levels, h, and hz. Your equation should contain the following terms: A (eross sectional area of a water tank), p (density of water), and h (rate of change of the height of the water in a tank) (b) Both outflows have the characteristic volumetric flow rate being directly proportional to the head in the tank. ie. ġ1 = a, h, and q2 = azh2. Show that the differential equation governing the head in tank 2 has the form of : h, + ah, = be" Time, t, is the independent variable. Take the initial values of the heads to be A h(0) = H, and h,(0)= H,. Determine a, b and c. (Note: There is no d, or hi in the equation governing tank 2. You…
