## Fluid Dynamics### Problem 1A river is 12.2 m wide with an average depth of 5.1 m. The river is flowing at a speed of \(1.7 \, \frac{m}{s}\).a. At one point in the river, there is a section of rapids. Here, the speed of the water increases to \(3.6 \, \frac{m}{s}\). What is the effective area of the river at this point?b. Later, the river dumps into a lake where the area rapidly increases to \(202 \, m^2\). How fast is the water moving just after it enters the lake?

m 1. A river is 12.2 m wide with an average depth of 5.1 m. The river is flowing at a speed of 1.7 At one point in the river, there is a section of rapids. Here, the speed of the water increases to a. -3.6 . What is the effective area of the river at this point? b. Later, the river dumps into a lake where the area rapidly increases to 202 m2. How fast is the water moving just after it enters the lake?

Case Study Shannon uses the example of a helium balloon to explain the buoyant force. Large helium blimp balloons are sometimes used as an advertisement (Fig. P15.78). The blimp balloon has a volume of 42.8 m3, and the mass of the empty blimp is 13.6 kg. It is held down by either a large-link steel chain or a large-link aluminum chain. Each link of steel has a mass of 2.6 kg, and each link of aluminum has a mass of 0.87 kg. The chain rests on the ground but is not attached to it. The density of helium gas is 0.180 kg/m3. a. How many links hang from the blimp if the steel chain is used? b. Compare your answer with the number of links that would hang if the aluminum chain were used instead. FIGURE P15.78
Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals.

(a) What mass of water is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
