(III) Many sailboats are docked at a marina 4.4 km away on the opposite side of a lake. You stare at one of the sailboats because, when you are lying flat at the water’'s edge, you can just see its deck but none of the side of the sailboat. You then go to that sailboat on the other side of the lake and measure that the deck is 1.5 m above the level of the water. Using Fig. 1–16, where h = 1.5 m, estimate the radius R of the d Lake Earth. Earth FIGURE 1-16 Problem 34. R R You see a sailboat across a lake (not to scale). R is the radius of the Earth. Because of the curvature of the Earth, the water "bulges out" between you and the boat. Earth center

Physics An average family of four uses roughly 1200 L (about 300 gallons) of water per day ( 1 L = 1000 cm³). How much depth would a lake lose per year if it uniformly covered an area of 20 km² and supplied a local town with a population of 50000 people? Consider only population uses, and neglect evaporation and so on. Express your answer using one significant figure. d= 195| ΑΣΦ ? cm/y

"Painting the entire exterior surface of a cube with edge length S = 1.26 meters reduces paint level by 2 inches in a cylindrical paint can with radius R = 3.24 inches. Assuming the paint is put on with a uniform thickness, calculate this thickness in inches." Hmm... I don't think the paint can height is necessary... at least, it wasn't given in the problem. I started out by calculating the volume of the 2 inches removed from the can, and, knowing that the volume would stay the same, tried to figure out how to put the volume onto the surface of the cube. That's where I got stuck. Any ideas? Thank you!

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold, the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g>cm3, and take its value to be about $40 per gram.
A sheet of aluminum (density=2.60 g/cm3) has dimensions of 4.75 mm * 1.80 x 2.48ft. Calculate its mass in pounds, also show all necessary unit conversions.
Biological tissues are typically made up of 98% water. Giventhat the density of water is 1.0 * 103 kg/m3, estimate the mass of (a) theheart of an adult human; (b) a cell with a diameter of 0.5 mm; (c) a honeybee.
