A 61.0-kg survivor of a cruise line disaster rests atop a block of Styrofoam insulation, using it as a raft. The Styrofoam has dimensions 2.00 m ✕ 2.00 m ✕ 0.0870 m. The bottom 0.022 m of the raft is submerged.
A. Write Newton's second law for the system in one dimension, using B for buoyancy, w for the weight of the survivor, and wr for the weight of the raft. (Set a = 0. Solve for Fy, the y-component of the net force. Let upward be the positive y-direction.)
Fy = ( ) = 0
B. Calculate the numeric value for the buoyancy, B. (Seawater has density 1025 kg/m3. Enter the answer to at least the ones digit.)
C. Using the value of B and the weight w of the survivor, calculate the weight wr of the Styrofoam.
D. What is the density of the Styrofoam?
E. What is the maximum buoyant force, corresponding to the raft being submerged up to its top surface?
F. What total mass of survivors can the raft support?
A particle of mass m=10.5 kg is in contact with an inclined surface and subject to a force F parallel to the surface.

- A great pianist is getting ready for his concert and plan to move his exclusive grand piano to his concert venue. The 700 kg piano needs to be loaded onto a truck bed which is about 1.5 m high.1.Initially, the movers decide to use an adjustable ramp to move the piano. The ramp can only be adjusted up to 10 m long and the inclination angle must not exceed 20° to ensure a safe loading process. Determine the range of a suitable length and angle of the ramp. 2.On a second thought, the movers are considering whether it is easier to lift the piano straight up onto the truck bed or push it up along the rough the ramp. With the aid of an appropriate free body diagram, justify the most efficient option for the movers to load the piano to the truck bed with constant speed. State clearly all the assumptions made, and the principles used in the calculations to support your answers.arrow_forwardThe input piston and output plunger of a hydraulic car lift at the same level, as shown in the drawing.

Suppose that she is in the gym doing straight legraising with 10 lb weights. Compute for the force that the muscle should exert in order to (1) maintain it in the position and(2) lift the weight up given that the distance of the effort (muscle) from the joint is 54 cm,distance of the weight is 80 cm, and the COM is 45 cm from the joint. ANSWER THE QUESTION: 1.) Assuming that the leg moves at 0. 9 seconds, compute for the angular velocity. GIVEN: Leg length = 84 cm = 0.84 m Distance of the muscle from the joint = 54 cm = 0.54 m Distance of the weight = 80 cm = 0.80 m Distance of the COM from the joint = 45 cm = 0.45 m Mass = 10 lb = 4.535 kg Linear displacement x = 38.971 cm Or x = 0.389 marrow_forwardA passenger is standing on a scale in an elevator. The building has a height of 500 feet, the passenger has a mass of 80 kg, and the scale has a mass of 7 kg. The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale.Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal).
