Chapter 14, Problem 14.30P
The United States possesses the ten largest warships in the world, aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class. Suppose one of the ships bobs up to float 11.0 cm higher in the ocean water when 50 fighters take off from it in a time interval of 25 min, at a location where the free-fall acceleration is 9.78 m/s2. The planes have an average laden mass of 29 000 kg. Find the horizontal area enclosed by the waterline of the ship.

What is most nearly the terminal velocity of a 50mm diameter solid aluminum sphere falling in air? the sphere has a coefficient of drag of 0.5, density of aluminum is 2650 kg/m^3 , and density of air is 1.225 kg/m^3.Answer: 53 m/s
The USS George H. W. Bush nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is the tenth and most recently built US supercarrier. Imagine that 54 fighters take off from the ship in a 25 min time interval at a location where the free fall acceleration is 9.78 m/s2. In this scenario, the ship bobs up and floats 11.5 cm higher in the ocean. Determine the horizontal area (in m2) enclosed by the waterline of the ship. Take the density of ocean water to be 1,030 kg/m3 and the average mass of an aircraft to be 29,100 kg.
The water of the Dead Sea is extremely salty, which gives it a very high density of 1240 kg/m3. Explain why a person floats A much higher in the Dead Sea than in ordinary water.

- You are shipwrecked and floating in the middle of the ocean on a raft. Your cargo on the raft includes a treasure chest full of gold that you found before your ship sank, and the raft is just barely afloat. To keep you floating as high as possible in the water, should you (a) leave the treasure chest on top of the raft, (b) secure the treasure chest to the underside of the raft, or (c) hang the treasure chest in the water with a rope attached to the raft? (Assume throwing the treasure chest overboard is not an option you wish to consider.)arrow_forwardThe seed pods of maple trees, also known as "helicopter seeds," spin as they fall, generating a leading edge vortex at the outer edge of each wing-like seed pod. This effect, similar to the vortices generated by hummingbird wings, can generate a sufficient lift force to keep the seed floating in air, allowing it to be dispersed by the wind. The figure below shows a pair of maple seeds L = 3.40 cm in length, with an angle of 70.0⁰ separating the seeds, as shown. If the outer edge of the seeds must rotate with a speed of 1.25 m/s for sufficient lift to be generated, what is the centripetal acceleration of the outer edge of the seeds (in m/s²) as they fall? (Enter the magnitude. Assume the seeds are symmetric about the vertical axis as they fall, as in the figure.) =arrow_forward4.10 Data are provided for the crude oil storage tank shown in Fig. P4.10. The tank initially contains 1000 m of crude oil.

The crude oil has a specific volume of 0.0015 m/kg. Determine (a) the mass of oil in the tank, in kg, after 24 hours, and (b) the volume of oil in the tank, in m', at that time.
