Chapter 2, Problem 6PP

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float. Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the submerged object. The buoyant force can be computed by

F b = V × γ

where F b is the buoyant force, V is the volume of the submerged object, and is the specific weight of the fluid. If F b is greater than or equal to the weight of the object, then it will float, otherwise it will sink.

Write a program that inputs the weight (in pounds) and radius (in feet) of a sphere and outputs whether the sphere will sink or float in water. Use γ = 62.4 lb/ft 3 as the specific weight of water. The volume of a sphere is computed by ( 4 / 3 ) π r 3 .

Suppose your computer is responding very slowly to information requests from the Internet. You observe that your network gateway shows high levels of network activity even though you have closed your e-mail client, Web browser, and all other programs that access the Internet. What types of malwares could cause such symptoms? What steps can you take to check whether malware has gained access to your system? What tools can you use at each step? If you identify malware, what ways might it have entered your system? How can you restore your PC to safe operation, including the special software tools you may use?
