You are preparing some apparatus for a visit to a newly discovered planet Caasi having oceans of glycerine and a surface acceleration due to gravity of 5.40 m/s2. If your apparatus floats in the oceans on earth with 25.0% of its volume submerged, what percentage will be submerged in the glycerine oceans of Caasi?

- Consider a lake of liquid water. The lake is 5.4 m deep, and has a pressure of 0.97 atm at the bottom. If the acceleration due to gravity is 6.7 m/s ^2 on this planet, what is the atmospheric pressure, p0? Assume the density of water is 1,000kg/m^3arrow_forwardResearchers from NASA performed an experiment that will carry a land rover of 900 kg on MARS at a velocity of 90 m/s using a parachute with a diameter of 100 m. How big is the diameter of the parachute to be used for the model? Let the mass density of air on MARS be 0.2 kg/cu.m. The mass density of air on EARTH is 1.225 kg/cu.m.arrow_forwardResearchers from NASA performed an experiment that will carry a land rover of 900 kg on MARS at a velocity of 90 m/s using a parachute with a diameter of 100 m. How much velocity would be needed if the experiment will be performed on EARTH carrying 10 kg mass? Let the mass density of air on MARS be 0.2 kg/cu.m. The mass density of air on EARTH is 1.225 kg/cu.m.arrow_forward
- The depth of the moons atmosphere is 101.333km. If the average pressure is 3.0*10 -5 bar and the acceleration due to gravity is gmoon = 1.6 m/s2, what is the average density of the moons atmosphere?arrow_forwardThe rate of change of atmospheric pressure P with respect to altitude h is proportional to P, provided that temperature is constant. At 15°C the pressure is 101.3 kPa at sea level and 87.14 kPa at h = 1000 m. Answer the following questions. a) What is the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 4000 m? Round to three decimal places. b) What is the atmospheric pressure at the top of Mount Greylock in Massachusetts, at an altitude of 1063 m? Round to three decimal places.

Payloads can include a video camera, GPS tracking, measurement equipment, etc. If the payload that we plan to attach has a mass of 2.7 kg, what is the minimum volume of our Hydrogen balloon that is needed to lift it into the air?arrow_forward
- Scuba divers want to explore the Mariana Trench, the deepest location on Earth, at 11,034m deep. Assuming the pressure at the boat is atmospheric pressure (101,000Pa) and the water density is 1000kg/m3, what pressure would they feel at this depth? If the human body is able to withstand up to 3x106Pa of pressure, based on your answer, would a person be able to scuba dive to that depth?arrow_forwardAP-1 A 155 kg chunk of iron is floating in a large container of mercury. The densities of iron and mercury are 7,850 kg/m³ and 13,600 kg/m³, respectively. (a) What % of the iron chunk's volume is submerged below the surface of the mercury? (b) What force would need to be applied to the iron chunk to completely submerge it?arrow_forwardOceans cover 71% of the surface of the Earth, and have an average depth of 3700 m. The planet has an average radius of 6370 km, so that the oceans form a very thin layer overall! The deepest known part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench, north of Papua New Guinea and east of the Phillipines, with a depth of almost 11000 m. If Mount Everest was placed at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, it would still be submerged by more than 2000 m! Estimate the volume of water contained in all of the oceans on Earth, and give the result in SI units. Be sure to state your assumptions with your calculation. Oceansarrow_forward

In this experiment, you are going to measure the buoyant force on an aluminum block partially immersed in a liquid. The dimensions of the block is / *w * Has shown in the figure. If the depth of the block immersed in the liquid is d what is the volume of the block immersed in liquid? H V Archimedes' principle says that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. If the density of the liquid is p, what is mass of the liquid displaced by the block? What is the buoyant force exerted on the block by the liquid? When the block experiences a buoyant force exerted by the water, the block exerts a force on water in equal magnitude but in opposite direction as the buoyant force. If we put the bcaker with water on a scale, we can measure the mass of beaker+water, let's call it Mr When a block is immersed in the water, the scale will read the Mrn plus the buoyant force F.
