Chapter 1, Problem 26P
Beyond fluids, Archimedes' principle has proven useful in geology when applied to solids on the earth's crust. Figure P1.26 depicts one such case where a lighter conical granite mountain “floats on” a denser basalt layer at the earth's surface. Note that the part of the cone below the surface is formally referred to as a frustum. Develop a steady-state force balance for this case in terms of the following parameters: basalt's density

A force of 9 lb is required to keep a spring compressed to
ft shorter than its equilibrium length. What is its spring constant?
k =
lb/ft
Use the concept of Particular Antiderivatives and Rectilinear Motion to answer the problem below:
On the edge of an 8m building, Sam throws his toy vertically upwards at initial velocity = 28 m/s. If the only force that acts on the toy is accelerationdue to gravity (-32 ft/s),
a. How many seconds will it take for the toy to reach its maximum height?b. What is the toy's speed when it hits the ground?
An object of mass m moves at a constant speed v in a circular path of radius r. The force required to produce the centripetal component of acceleration is called the centripetal force and is given by F = mv2/r. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is
given by F = GMm/d2, where d is the distance between the centers of the two bodies of masses M and m, and G is a gravitational constant. The speed required for circular motion is v = √ GM/r.
Use the result above to find the speed necessary for the given circular orbit around Earth. Let GM = 9.56 x 104 cubic miles per second per second, and assume the radius of Earth is 4000 miles. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
The orbit of a communications satellite R miles above the surface of Earth that is in geosynchronous orbit. [The satellite completes one orbit per side real day (approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes), and therefore appears to remain
stationary above a point on Earth.]

Here we calculate the average force on the bat during this collision by first computing the change in the ball's momentum. The momentum p of an object is the product of its mass m and its velocity v, that is, p = mv. Suppose an object, moving along a straight line, is acted on by a force F = F(t) that is a continuous function of time. (a) Show that the change in momentum over a time interval [to, t1] is equal to the integral of F from to to t1; that is, show that p(t) – p(to) = |" F(t) dt This integral is called the impulse of the force over the time interval.

- Consider a floating cylindrical buoy with radius r, height h, and uniform density p = 0.5 (recall that the density of water is 1 g/cm³). The buoy is initially suspended at rest with its bottom at the top surface of the water and is re- leased at time t = 0. Thereafter it is acted on by two forces: a downward gravitational force equal to its weight mg = par²hg and (by Archimedes' principle of buoy- ancy) an upward force equal to the weight ar2xg of wa- ter displaced, where x = x(t) is the depth of the bottom of the buoy beneath the surface at time t (Fig. 3.4.12). Assume that friction is negligible. Conclude that the buoy undergoes simple harmonic motion around its equilibrium position xe = ph with period p = 27 Vph/g. Compute p and the amplitude of the motion if p = 0.5 g/cm³, h = 200 cm, and g = 980 cm/s². Waterline FIGURE 3.4.12.
