On 23 March 2021 the giant container ship "Ever Given", under strong winds, swivelled round to become wedged between the banks of the Suez Canal. Given that the mass of the ship was 200,000 tonnes, that its length was 400m, its width was 59m, and that the density of the water in the Canal was 1009 kg/m³. The depth of the Suez Canal is 24.m. Determine whether the ship continues to float or not.

The Dead Sea in Israel is at the lowest point on Earth. Due to its extreme salinity and mineral content, the water there is extremely dense, 1240 kg/m3. If the typical human body has a density 95% that of ordinary water, what percentage (by volume) of a person lies under the waterline, as he floats in the Dead Sea? Round the final answer to one decimal place.
As the summer intern for a company that manufactures nozzles for garden hoses, you are working on an adjustable hose nozzle project. Your design calls for a rotating head that has a number of cylindrical plugs that can be inserted into the hose opening. On a particular setting, the speed of the water passing around the plug is 9 times as large as the speed of the water in the hose. Determine the ratio of the plug radius (rplug) to the inside hose radius (/hose). plug = Those
Suppose that a solid cube of some material floats motionless on the surface of an oil puddle at a service station with 65.1% of its volume submerged. The density of the oil is 3.903 kg/m3. What is the density ? of the cube's material?
As the summer intern for a company that manufactures nozzles for garden hoses, you are working on an adjustable hose nozzle project. Your design calls for a rotating head that has a number of cylindrical plugs that can be inserted into the hose opening. On a particular setting, the speed of the water passing around the plug is 5 times as large as the speed of the water in the hose. Determine the ratio of the plug radius (rplug) to the inside hose radius (r hose).

Suppose that a solid cube of some material floats motionless on the surface of an oil puddle at a service station with 76.3% of its volume submerged. The density of the oil is 931 kg/m³. What is the density p of the cube's material? P = kg/m³
A spherical submarine, with radius 3 m, has mass such that it is neutrally buoyant; i.e. its average density is equal to the density of the surrounding water. It now wants to move toward the bottom of the sea at a constant velocity = 0.6 m/s. How much extra mass does the submarine need to take in? (It will do this by taking in water, adding to the submarine's total mass) %3D 0.0046 kg 0.0029 kg O0.0061 kg 0.0023 kg 0.0035 kg 0.0039 kg
Ice cubes float in water because its density is lower than that of water (910 kg/m^3). If you have an ice cube, 5 cm on one side how many liters of water must be displaced in order to support the floating cube?
Two adult polar bears, each of mass 440. kg are adrift on an ice floe in the seawaters of the Arctic Ocean. The ice floe is a rectangular slab, 8.0 m long by 4.0 m wide. The top of the ice floe is just at the water line. When the polar bears get off of the ice floe, how high above the water line will the top of the ice slab be? Express your answer to 3 sig figs in either centimeters or meters.
