It is required to design a tennis ball for recreational use by settlers on Mars. The primary requirement is that the balls must pass the same 'bounce test' specified for tennis balls used on Earth. This requires that a ball dropped from a height of 254 cm onto concrete will bounce back to a height of 140 cm. The games will be played in a sealed gymnasium pressurised with standard air to 70 kPa. The balls are to have the same mass and diameter as those used on Earth, with modifications to account for the reduced gravity on Mars and the lower air pressure in the habitat. The height a ball recovers after a single bounce is believed to depend on the following parameters: Earth Drop height, L (m) Gravitational acceleration, g (m/s²) Internal pressure of ball above atmospheric (kPa) Diameter, D (m) Mass of ball, M (kg) Target bounce height, h (m) 2.54 9.8 83 0.067 0.057 0.14 Mars 2.54 3.71 ? 0.067 0.057 0.14 0 ms 2 ms 4 ms 3 ms a) Identify the dimensionless parameters which would control the bounce height under these assumptions. b) What pressure should the balls be filled to?

Consider that the tropical ocean is exposed to direct sunlight for many hours every day. If the top 1cm of an area of water 10,000,000 cm by 10,000,000 cm warms from 25 to 27 degrees, how much heat energy, in Joules, has the water absorbed? (Every cm' of water has one gram of mass.) Remember the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C
