Chapter 19, Problem 40A
Would the water level in a canal lock go up or down if a ship in the lock were to sink?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To identify: Whether the level of water in canal lock if ship in the lock were to sink.
Answer to Problem 40A
Water level falls in the canal due to sinking of ship.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Archimedes principle: This principle state that the water displaced from container is equal to the weight of object.
When an object float in the water, it displaces water which is equal to weight of floating object, and this displaced water volume is greater than volume of object. On the other hand when an object submerged in liquid, then volume of displaced water is equal to volume of submerged object. Hence if the ship in a lock were to sink than level of water will fall in canal because floating object has greater buoyancy force than submerged object.
Conclusion:
Water falls in the canal due to sinking of ship.

- You are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit.
