area.
(a) Determine the elongation of the cable. (Enter your answer to at least two decimal places.)
(No Response) mm
(b) By what additional amount does the cable increase in length if the object is accelerated upwards at a rate of 2.5 m/s²?
(No Response) mm
(c) What is the greatest mass that can be accelerated upward at 2.5 m/s² if the stress in the cable is not to exceed the
elastic limit of the cable, which is 2.2 × 108 Pa?
(No Response) kg
A square metal sheet 2.5 cm on a side and of negligible thickness is attached to a balance and inserted into a container of fluid.
The contact angle is found to be zero, as shown in Figure a, and the balance to which the metal sheet is attached reads 0.42 N. A
thin veneer of oil is then spread over the sheet, and the contact angle becomes 180°, as shown in Figure b. The balance now
reads 0.41 N. What is the surface tension of the fluid?

A helium-filled balloon (whose envelope has a mass of m₁ = 0.260 kg) is tied to a uniform string of length l = 2.70 m and mass
m = 0.050 6 kg. The balloon is spherical with a radius of r = 0.399 m. When released in air of temperature 20°C and density Pair
= 1.20 kg/m³, it lifts a length h of string and then remains stationary as shown in the figure below. We wish to find the length of
string lifted by the balloon.

From your study of fluids, you have come up with the idea based on the water flowing from the tank in the figure. You set up the tank as shown in the figure, filled to a depth h 1.15 m, and sitting on a stand of height { 0.300 m. You punch a hole in the tank at a height of Y1 = 0.102 m above the stand. (Ignore the thickness of the tank in your calculation.) You want to punch a second hole higher on the tank so that the streams of water from the two holes arrive at the same position on the table, in a catch basin at a distance d from the right edge of the stand. A pump will continuously carry water from the catch basin back up to the top of the tank to keep the water level fixed.
