Ram a farmer, managed to grow shaped-watermelons inside glass cases of different shapes. The shapes he used were: a perfect cube, hemi-spherical, cuboid, cylindrical along with the normal spherical shaped watermelons. Thickness of the skin was same for all the shapes. Each of the glass cases was so designed that the total volume and the weight of the all the water-melons would be equal irrespective of the shape. A customer wants to buy water-melon for making juice, for which the skin of the water- melon has to be peeled off, and therefore is a waste. Which shape should the customer buy?

Evaluate the dimensionless groups hcD/k,UD/, and cp/k for water, n-butyl alcohol, mercury, hydrogen, air, and saturated steam at a temperature of 100C. Let D=1m,U=1m/sec, and hc=1W/m2K.
Caplets are used to support a sand core inside a sand mold cavity. The design of the caplets and the manner in which they are placed in the mold cavity surface allows each caplet to sustain a force of 45 N. Several caplets are located beneath the core to support it before pouring; and several other caplets are placed above the core to resist the buoyancy force during pouring. If the volume of the core = 5450 cm3, and the metal poured is steel, determine the minimum number of caplets that should be placed (a) beneath the core, and (b) above the core (Sand density = 1.6 g/cm3, steel density = 7.82 g/cm3).
A commpon way of salvaging cannons from old wreacks is to attach an inflatable balloon filed with air. Assume that the cannon is a solid cylinder of iron which is 1.30m long with a radius 17.3cm. The density of iron is 7.87g/cm^3. a. If an air bag were filled twice the volume necessary, what will be the tension in the rope between the air bag and the cannon when the air bag reaches the surface and comes to rest? What volume of air bag wil be floating above the water surface?
