An unknown object is suspended from a thin string and fully submerged in a container of water. Water surrounds the entire object as it hangs from the string, and the object is not touching the bottom of the water filled container. The object remains at rest at all times. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. a) Draw a FBD using the unknown object as your system. Be sure to label the forces. b) The unknown object has an unknown mass M. The tension in the string is measured to be (3/5)M g. Calculate the density of the unknown object.

Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant. 172. As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D (−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?
