** 12. You have a block of unknown material of mass 18 grams and volume 20 cm3. You have a bucket of water (p filled right to the brim. 1 g/cm3) and a bucket of alcohol (p = 0.79 g/cm3). Both buckets are a) What is the density of the block? b) Which of the buckets, if any, does it float in? Explain your reasoning c) When the block is placed slowly and carefully in the bucket of water, how many cm3 of water spill over the edge? d) When the block is placed slowly and carefully in the bucket of alcohol, how many cm3 of alcohol spill over the edge? e) If you had a 37-gram chunk of this material (the same material as the block), what would its volume be?

A solid iron sphere and a solid lead sphere of the same size are each suspended by strings and are submerged in a tank of water. (Note that the density of lead is greater than that of iron.) Which of the following statements are valid? (Choose all correct statements.) (a) The buoyant force on each is the same. (b) The buoyant force on the lead sphere is greater than the buoyant force on the iron sphere because lead has the greater density. (c) The tension in the siring supporting the lead sphere is greater than the tension in the string supporting the iron sphere. (d) The buoyant force on the iron sphere is greater than the buoyant force on the lead sphere because lead displaces more water. (e) None of those statements is true.

As a first approximation. Earth's continents may be thought of as granitr blocks floating in a denser rock (called peridotitc) in the same way that ice floats in water. (a) Show that a formula describing this phenomenon is gt = pd where g is the density of granite (2.8 103 kg/m3), p is the density of peridotite (3.3 103 kg/m3), t is the thickness of a continent, and d is the depth to which a continent floats in the peridotite. (b) If a continent sinks 5.0 km into the peridotite layer (this surface may be thought of as the ocean floor), what is the thickness of the continent?
The dolphin tank at an amusement park is rectangular in shape with a length of 40.0 m, a width of 15.0 m, and a depth of 7.50 m. The tank is filled to the brim to provide maximum splash during dolphin shows. What is the total amount of force exerted by the water on a. the bottom of the tank, b. the longer wall of the tank, and c. the shorter wall of the tank?
Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate the density of a fluid as well as that of a solid. Suppose a chunk of iron with a mass of 390.0 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 350.5 g when completely submerged in an unknown liquid. (a) What mass of fluid does the iron displace? (b) What is the volume of iron, using its density as given in Table 11.1 (c) Calculate the fluid's density and identify it.

On October 21, 2001, Ian Ashpole of the United Kingdom achieved a record altitude of 3.35 km (11 000 ft) powered by 600 toy balloons filled with helium.

(c) Ashpole parachuted to the Earth after the balloons began to burst at the high altitude and the buoyant force decreased. Why did the balloons burst?
