A container has a large cylindrical lower part with a long thin cylindrical neck open at the top. The lower part of the container holds 14.8 m of water and the surface area of the bottom of the container is 5.90 m². The height of the lower part of the container is 2.50 m, and the neck contains a column of water 8.50 m high. The total volume of the column of water in the neck is 0.200 m³. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the water on the bottom of the container?
In the process of loading a ship, a shipping container gets dropped into the water and sinks to the bottom of the harbor. Salvage experts plan to recover the container by attaching a spherical balloon to the container and inflating it with air pumped down from the surface. The dimensions of the container are 5.00 m long, 2.35 m wide, and 3.20 m high. As the crew pumps air into the balloon, its spherical shape increases and when the radius is 1.10 m, the shipping container just begins to rise toward the surface. Determine the mass of the container. You may ignore the weight of the balloon and the air in the balloon. The density of seawater is 1027 kg/m³. 434.54 X How does the weight of the container compare to the weight of the water displaced by the container and balloon when the container starts to rise? See if you can express the weight of the water displaced in terms of the density of the seawater and the dimensions of the container and balloon. kg Additional Materials
