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 1400 N in air. If it takes 34 kg of lead (? = 11,300 kg/m3) to completely sink the log and the lead in water, determine the average density of the log.

An open barge has the dimensions shown in the figure. If the barge is made out of 5.5-cm-thick steel plate on each of its four sides and its bottom, what mass of coal can the barge carry in freshwater without sinking? Is there enough room in the barge to hold this amount of coal? (The density of coal is about 1500 kg/m3.)
two vertical parallel glass plates 0.1 mm apart are partially immersed in water. Considering that the water does not reach the upper edges of the sheets and that the liquid completely wets the glass, determine: a) the height that rises in the flat capillary, b) the attractive force between the plates. Consider the width of the sheet l=12cm and density y=72.8*10^-3 N/m
Determine the absolute pressure exerted by the seawater in kPa on the body of the diver if he descends 128.44 m to a sunken ship. Assume that the density of 1,025.465 kg/m3 and the barometric pressure is 101.725 kPa.
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
The pressure at the base of the mountain is 750mm of Hg and at its top is 600 mm of Hg. If the density of the air is 1kg/m^3, then what is the height of the mountain?
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.
The volume and the average density of an irregularly shaped body are to be determined by using a spring scale. The body weighs 7000 N in air and 4700 N in water. Determine the volume and the density of the body. State your assumptions.
A 30-ton, 4-m-diameter hemispherical dome on a level surface is filled with water.
