Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 55EAP
A plastic "boat" with a 
square cross section floats in a liquid. One by one, you place 50 g masses inside the boat and measure how far the boat extends below the surface. Your data are as follows:
| Mass added (g) | Depth (cm) |
| 50 | 2.9 |
| 100 | 5.0 |
| 150 | 6.6 |
| 200 | 8.6 |
Draw an appropriate graph of the data and, from the slope and intercept of the best-fit line, determine the mass of the boat and the density of the liquid.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
