A spherical balloon filled with nitrogen is attached to a 2.5-m-long, 0.055-kg string. The balloon has radius 0.40 m. When released, it lifts a length h of the string when it comes to rest. Find h. Assume the mass of the balloon material is 0.251 kg.
A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.0 m long, 2.3 m wide, and 2.3 m high. Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface. When the balloon's radius is 1.6 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and the air within it. Do not neglect the buoyant force exerted on the shipping container by the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3.
As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a
campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a 47.5° slope up to a
vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put
all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the
rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 19.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip so you put 19.5 kg of rocks in the
anchor bag to balance it out.
What happens when you lower the food bag over the
edge and let go of the anchor bag? The weight of the
bags and the rope are negligible. The ice is smooth
enough to be considered frictionless.
O The anchor bag is on a slope so the food bag will
drop, pulling the anchor bag up.
The motion of the food bag cannot be…

- A 50.0-kg woman wearing high-heeled shoes is invited into a home in which the kitchen has vinyl floor covering. The heel on each shoe is circular and has a radius of 0.500 cm. (a) If the woman balances on one heel, what pressure does she exert on the floor? (b) Should the homeowner be concerned? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.3 m long, 2.9 m wide, and 2.9 m high. Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface. When the balloon's radius is 1.6 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and the air within it. Do not neglect the buoyant force exerted on the shipping container by the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m³.

The diving bell is in the shape of a cylinder with a vertical length of L = 2.50 m. It is closed at the upper circular end and open at the lower circular end. The bell is lowered from air into seawater (ρ = 1.025 g/cm3) and kept in its upright orientation as it is lowered. The air in the bell is initially at temperature Ti = 20.0°C. The bell, with two humans inside, is lowered to adepth (measured to the bottom of the bell) of 27.0 fathoms, or h = 49.4 m. At this depth the water temperature is Tf = 4.0°C, and the bell is in thermal equilibrium with the water. The exam question asks you to compare two situations: (i) No additional gas is added to the interior of the bell as it is submerged. Therefore, water enters the open bottom of the bell and the volume of the enclosed air decreases. (ii) The bell is fitted with pressurized air tanks,…arrow_forward
- We are interested in measuring the pressure at different depths below the surface of the ocean. Pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere for every 10 m of depth below the surface (for example, at a depth of 20 m, there are approximately 3 atmospheres of pressure, 2 due the ocean and 1 to the atmosphere itself). Measuring a pressure of x atmospheres without crushing the device costs x² dollars. a. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 100 m down? b. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 1000 m down? c. How much would it cost to measure the pressure 5000 m down?arrow_forwardA cylindrical tank, shown in the figure, has height 8 m and radius 5 m. a. If the tank is full of water, how much work is required to pump the water to the level of the top of the tank and out of the tank? Use 1000 kg/m³ for the density of water and 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. b. Is it true that it takes half as much work to pump the water out of the tank when it is half full as when it is full? Explain. 5 m 8 marrow_forwardOSU has been given a large model of the solar system which consists of hollow Styrofoam spheres of different sizes representing the Sun and planets. The planets are all connected to the center of the sun by means of steel rods of varying lengths and at varying angles relative to the x-axis as shown above. The steel rods are all 0.5 cm in diameter and are made of steel having a density of 7.88 g/cm3. We’d like to suspend the model from it’s center of mass, but it doesn’t look like the center of mass coincides with the position of the Sun. Find the center of mass of the model (direction and angle) relative to the Sun in the center of the model. The Styrofoam spheres are so much lighter in comparison to the rods, that their mass can be neglected. Hint: calculate the center of mass for the x and y dimensions separately, then combine them to get the final answerarrow_forward
- We’ve discussed elevators that are raised with cables, but many elevators use pistons. A pump provides fluid at very high pressure to the piston; the resulting force on the piston raises the elevator and passengers. For a typical piston elevator, the mass of the elevator and passengers is 2000 kg and the radius of the piston is a surprisingly small 4.2 cm. The elevator begins to move upward, accelerating at 0.80 m/s2. What is the pressure in the piston?arrow_forwardA 60-kg person's two feet cover an area of A=140 cm-. Assume the person is at rest.

- Archie designs an arch of a certain width and height to serve as an outdoor sculpture in a park. To achieve the size and shape for the strongest possible arch, he suspends a chain from two equally elevated supports as far apart as the arch is wide and allows the chain to hang as low as the arch is high. He then designs the arch to have exactly the inverted shape of the hanging chain. Explain why.arrow_forwardA glass ball of radius 1.65 cm sits at the bottom of a container of milk that has a density of 1.03 g/cm3. The normal force on the ball from the container's lower surface has magnitude 8.03 × 10-2 N. What is the mass of the ball?arrow_forwardBefore Fuel Injection. Some automobile engines (mainly older ones) use a carburetor to turn the liquid fuel into vapor and mix it with air for combustion. The basic principle of carburetion is shown in Figure P10.82. A piston moves down in the cylinder thereby moving air from the outside through the carburetor by way of an air filter and into the carburetor. The filtered air enters from the left of Figure P10.82 and moves into the main intake, a tube of diameter 4.2 cm, with velocity v = 8 m/s. The air must pass through a region of the intake that has a smaller diameter. Determine what diameter would be needed cause a change in pressure such that fuel from the reservoir is pulled into the airflow. The surface of the fuel in the reservoir is h = 35 cm below the bottom of the intake and the density of the fuel is 0.46 that of water. Use 1000 kg/m^3 for the density of water and 1.29 kg/m^3 for the density of air. Submit Answer Tries 0/5 P atm BC Con E* d₁ d₂ To combustion chamber Fuel…arrow_forward
