Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward weight, there are buoyant forces and forces from the flowing water that allow them to travel in a horizontal path. One such submersible has a cross-section area of 1.3 m2, a drag coefficient of 1.2, and, when towed at 5.1 m/s, the tow cable makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. What is the tension in the cable?

A spherical raindrop 3.5 mm in diameter falls through a vertical distance of 3700 m. Take the cross-sectional area of a raindrop = ?r2, drag coefficient = 0.45, density of water to be 1000 kg/m3, and density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the speed a spherical raindrop would achieve falling from 3700 m in the absence of air drag. (m/s)(b) What would its speed be at the end of 3700 m when there is air drag? (Note that the raindrop will reach terminal velocity after falling about 30 m.)
