Drag Force: A spherical particle of radius 5.9 cm and a mass of 229 g is moving through a fluid of the same density. (This means you can ignore the effects of gravity.) The position of the particle is given by x (t) In (1 + bvot), where x is its position and t is the elapsed time. The initial speed vo is 17.4 m/s, and the constant b is 0.4 m-1. (b) What is the velocity of the particle after 2.9 seconds? (c) What is the acceleration of the particle after 2.9 seconds?

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
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 .
The density of oil is less than that of water, yet a loaded oil tanker sits lower in the water than an empty one. Why?
A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the rock? (c) What is its average density? Is this consistent with the value for granite?
In an immersion measurement of a woman's density, she is found to have a mass of 62.0 kg in air and an apparent mass of 0.0850 kg when completely submerged with lungs empty. (a) What mass of water does she displace? (b) What is her volume? (c) Calculate her density. (d) If her lung capacity is 1.75 L is she able to float without treading water with her lungs filled with air?
Do fluids exert buoyant forces in a "weightless" environment, such as in the space shuttle? Explain your answer.
A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while drag force assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs=6rv . Show that the terminal speed is given by v=2R2g9(s1) , where R is be radius of sphere, s is its ad 1 is of be fluid, and the coefficient of viscosity.
The flow of blood through a 2.00106 m -radius capillary is 3.80109cm3/s . (a) What is the speed of be blood now? (b) Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 90.0 cm3/s?
Is it easier for a large person to float in a lake than a small person? Explain.
A spherical weather balloon is filled with hydrogen until its radius is 3.00 m. Its total mass including the instruments it carries is 15.0 kg. (a) Find the buoyant force acting on the balloon, assuming the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. (b) What is the net force acting on the balloon and its instruments after the balloon is released from the ground? (c) Why does the radius of the balloon tend to increase as it rises to higher altitude?
Using the equation of the previous problem, find the viscosity of motor oil in which a steel ball of radius 0.8 mm falls a terminal speed of 4.32 cm/s. The densities of the ball and the oil are 7.86 and 0.88 g/mL, respectively.
