A raft has dimensions of 6.1m by 3.7m and floats on fresh water. Cargo is loaded onto the raft and it sinks 3.8cm further into the water. a.) Draw 2 FBDs for the raft: one when there is no cargo and one where there is a cargo. b.) Write out Newton 2nd law in the y- direction for both situations (with and without the cargo ). c.) Find the weight of the cargo.

Find the terminal velocity of a spherical bacterium (diameter 2.00m ) falling in water. You will first need to note that the drag force is equal to the weight at terminal velocity. Take the density of the bacterium to be 1.10103kg/m3 .
Balancing carefully, three boys inch out onto a horizontal tree branch above a pond, each planning to dive in separately. The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.
Is it easier for a large person to float in a lake than a small person? Explain.
(a) When rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 N of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylinder. What is the magnitude of the normal force between the piston and cylinder? (b) What is the magnitude of the force would she have to exert if the steel parts were oiled?
The United States possesses the ten largest warships in the world, aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class. Suppose one of the ships bobs up to float 11.0 cm higher in the ocean water when 50 fighters take off from it in a time interval of 25 min, at a location where the free-fall acceleration is 9.78 m/s2. The planes have an average laden mass of 29 000 kg. Find the horizontal area enclosed by the waterline of the ship.
Your hands are wet, and the restroom towel dispenser is empty. What do you do to get drops of water off your hands? How does the motion of the drops exemplify one of Newtons laws? Which one?
Two expressions were used for the drag force experienced by a moving object a liquid. One depended upon the speed, while the other was proportional to the square of the speed. In which types of motion would each of these expressions be more applicable than the other one?
A skydiver will reach a terminal velocity when the air drag equals his or her weight. For a skydiver with a large body, turbulence is a factor at high speeds. The drag force then is approximately proportional to the square of the velocity. Taking the drag force to be FD=12Av2 , and setting this equal to the skydiver's weight, find the terminal speed for a person falling "spread eagle.
A paratrooper and his 8-m-diameter parachute weigh 950 N. Taking the average air density to be 1.2 kg/m3, determine the terminal velocity of the paratrooper.
If an object has a mass of 22kg at sea level, (a) what will be its weight at a point where the acceleration due to gravity g= 9.75 m/s^2 ? (b) What will be its mass at that point?
The human head can be considered as a3.3-kg cranium protecting a 1.5-kg brain, with a small amount ofcerebrospinal fluid that allows the brain to move a little bit insidethe cranium. Suppose a cranium at rest is subjected to a force of2800 N for 6.5 ms in the forward direction. (a) What is the finalspeed of the cranium? (b) The back of the cranium then collideswith the back of the brain, which is still at rest, and the two movetogether. What is their final speed? (c) The cranium now hits anexternal object and suddenly comes to rest, but the brain continues to move forward. If the front of the brain interacts with thefront of the cranium over a period of 15 ms before coming to rest,what average force is exerted on the brain by the cranium?
