5. You are a passenger on a spacecraft. For your survivaland comfort, the interior contains air just like that at thesurface of the Earth. The craft is coasting through a veryempty region of space. That is, a nearly perfect vacuumexists just outside the wall. Suddenly, a meteoroid pokes ahole, about the size of a large coin, right through the wallnext to your seat. (a) What happens? (b) Is there anythingyou can or should do about it?

In 1960, the U.S. Navy’s bathyscaphe Trieste (a submersible) descended to a depth of nearly 11 km in the Marianas Trench near the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean. Instead of a large viewing window, it had a small circular window 15 cm in diameter. What is your explanation for so small a window?
James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 mm below the surface. What was the total inward force on the 1.1-mm-diameterpilot sphere in which Cameron sat?
You are preparing some apparatus for a visit to a newly discovered planet Caasi having oceans of glycerine and a surface acceleration due to gravity of 5.40 m/s2. If your apparatus floats in the oceans on earth with 30.0 % of its volume submerged, what percentage will be submerged in the glycerine oceans of Caasi?

Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them to the greedy at prices much below gold value but deservedly far above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
Oil is filled to a height of 10.0 cm in a small cylinder. If a hole is made 6.0 cm from the bottom of the cylinder, what is the emergent velocity of the oil?
How would you approach this problem given there is a 3d aspect to the fluid force?
I dropped my steel keys (8050 kg/m3) into a tank of liquid mercury (13,600 kg/m3). What percentage of the keys' volume will be visible , floating above the mercury surface? a. 100% b. 0% c. 59% d. 41%
A cylindrical blood vessel is partially blocked by the buildup of plaque. At one point, the plaque decreases the diameter of the vessel by 68.0%. The blood approaching the blocked portion has speed v0. Just as the blood enters the blocked portion of the vessel, what is its speed ?, expressed as a multiple of ?0?
How do I determine the acceleration of an object when released below the surface of a liquid?
As the summer intern for a company that manufactures nozzles for garden hoses, you are working on an adjustable hose nozzle project. Your design calls for a rotating head with a number of cylindrical plugs inserted into the hose opening. In a particular setting, the speed of the water passing around the plug is 3 times as large as the speed of the water in the hose. Determine the ratio of the plug radius (rplug) to the inside hose radius (rhose).
Show that the Reynolds number NRis unitless by substituting units for all the quantities in its definition and cancelling.
