A legendary Dutch boy saved Holland by plugging a hole in a dike with his finger, which is 1.10 cm in diameter.
(a) If the hole was 1.80 m below the surface of the North Sea (density 1030 kg/m3), what was the force on his
finger?

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. N
(b) If he pulled his finger out of the hole, how long would it take the released water to fill 1 acre of land to a depth
of 1 ft assuming the hole remained constant in size? (A typical U.S. family of four uses 1 acre-foot of water, 1234

- A 15.0 m tall water tower in Mount Pearl, off Wyatt Boulevard, is filled to the top with fresh St. John's tapwater.

At the same time, the trachea contracts, causing the expelled air to move faster and increasing the pressure on the foreign object. According to a mathematical model of coughing, the velocity v (in cm/s) of the airstream through an average-sized person's trachea is related to the radius r of the trachea (in cm) by the function v(r) = 3.2(1 − r)r2 1 2 ≤ r ≤ 1. Determine the value of r for which v is a maximum. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardIn medicine, it is often important to monitor the blood flow in certain areas of the body. However, the movement of blood is difficult to monitor directly. Instead, some medical devices use the Hall effect, taking advantage of the fact that the blood flowing through a vein contains a considerable number of free ions. Model the vein in a patient's arm to be of rectangular cross section, as shown in the figure, with a width w=4.00 mm and height ℎ=3.35 mm. The entire section of the vein is immersed in a constant magnetic field of ?=0.0955 T, pointing horizontally and parallel to the width. A medical device constantly monitors the resulting Hall voltage. Suppose that medical precautions mandate that the speed of the blood flow for this particular component of the body should never drop below 21.40 cm/s. At what minimum Hall voltage VH, in millivolts, should the medical device be designed to trigger an alarm to the medical staff? ?H= mVarrow_forward
- You and your team are exploring a river in South America when you come to the bottom of a tall waterfall. You estimate the cliff over which the water flows to be about 100 feet tall. You have to choose between climbing the cliff or backtracking and taking another route, but climbing the cliff would cut two hours off of your trip. There is only one experienced climber in the group: she would climb the cliff alone and drop a rope over the edge to lift supplies and allow the others to climb without packs. The climber estimates it will take her 45 minutes to get to the top. However, you are concerned that the rope mightbe too short to reach the bottom of the cliff (it is exactly 30.0 m long). If it is too short, she'll have to climb back down (another 45 minutes) and you will be too far behind schedule to get to your destination before dark. As you contemplate how to determine whether the rope is long enough, you notice that the late afternoon shadow of the cliff grows as the sun descends…arrow_forwardYou and your team are exploring a river in South America when you come to the bottom of a tall waterfall.

Infrastructure includes bridges and roads, but it also includes water and sewer system, railroads, and power grids. In 2016, the state of Washington opened the SR 520 "floating" bridge. The bridge is made of 77 floating concrete boxes anchored to the bed of the lake using 58 steel cables. Each cylindrical cable is 3 inches [in] thick, 1000 feet [ft] long, and made of steel. Assume the specific gravity of steel is 7.9. What is the weight of one cable in units of pound-force [Ib]? E Click the icon to view the conversion table.
