Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb = ρairgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 85 kg each, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released. Assume the density of air is ρ = 1.16 kg/m3 , and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage.
A 4.5 m-diameter vertical cylindrical milk tank rotates at a constant rate of 15 rpm. If the pressure at the center of the bottom surface is 140 kPa, determine the pressure at the edge of the bottom surface of the tank. Take the density of the milk to be 1100 kg/m3. Draw the FBD
The density of a floating body can be determined by tying weights to the body until both the body and the weights are completely submerged, and then weighing them separately in air. Consider a wood log that weighs 1540 N in air. If it takes 34 kg of lead (r 5 11,300 kg/m3) to completely sink the log and the lead in water, determine the average density of the log.
In relation to the figure shown, the liquid is water (p = 1000 kg / m3). The gate is rectangular and rotates around "A". Determine the value of “y” so that the gate opens when the free surface of the water reaches the level shown.

Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb = ? airgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 70 kg each, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released. Assume the density of air is ? =1.16kg/m3, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage
Consider a tank of rectangular cross-section partially filled with a liquid placed on an inclined surface, as shown in the figure. When frictional effects are negligible, show that the slope of the liquid surface will be the same as the slope of the inclined surface when the tank is released. What can you say about the slope of the free surface when the friction is significant
