Mighty Ice Lift A tremendous force is generated when water freezes into ice and expands in volume by 9.0%. Suppose a 1.000-m3 cube of liquid water freezes into ice that is 1.000 m on a side by 1.090 m tall. How many 68-kg students would the ice be able to lift? Determine this by calculating the amount of force on the top 1.000-m2 face that would be required to squeeze 1.090 m3 of ice back to 1.000 m3, assuming all of the volume change occurs along the vertical direction.

- Review. While you arc on a trip to Europe, you must purchase hazelnut chocolate bars for your grandmother. Eating just one square each day, she makes each large bar last for one and one-third months. Mow many bars will constitute a years supply for her?arrow_forwardA twin-sized air mattress used for camping has dimensions of 100 cm by 200 cm by 15 cm when blown up. The weight of the mattress is 2 kg. How heavy a person could the air mattress hold if it is placed in freshwater?arrow_forwardThe inside volume of a house is equivalent to that of a rectangular solid 13.0 m wide by 200 m long by 2.75 m high. The house is heated by a forced air gas heater. The main uptake air duct of heater is 0.300 m in diameter. What is the average speed of the duct if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 minutes?arrow_forward
- (a) How high will water rise in a glass capillary tube with a 0.500-mm radius? (b) How much gravitational potential energy does the water gain? (c) Discuss possible sources of this energy.arrow_forwardA frequently quoted rule of thumb in aircraft design is that wings should produce about 1000 N of lift per square meter of wing. (The fact that a wing has a top and bottom surface does not double its area.) (a) At takeoff, an aircraft travels at 60.0 m/s, so that the air speed relative to the bottom of the wing is 60.0 m/s. Given the sea level density of air to be 1.29 kg/m3, how fast must it move over the upper surface to create the ideal lift? (b) How fast must air move over the upper surface at a cruising speed of 245 m/s and at an altitude where air density is one-fourth that at sea level? (Note that this is not all of the aircraft's lift—some comes from the body of the plane, some from engine thrust, and so on. Furthermore, Bernoulli's principle gives an approximate answer because flow over the wing creates turbulence.)arrow_forward. A booster pump on a brake system designed to be used horizontally consists of two cylinders capped by pistons connected by a hose. The cylinders and hose are filled with an incompressible fluid. The system produces a mechanical advantage of five times; that is, the output force is five times as great as the input force. If the cross-sectional area of the input piston is 4.0 in.2, how large must the area of the output piston be?arrow_forward
- Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.arrow_forward(a) A 75.0-kg man floats in freshwater with 3.00% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 5.00% of his volume above water when his lungs are full. Calculate the volume of air he inhales—called his lung capacity—in liters. (b) Does this lung volume seem reasonable?arrow_forwardA needle was place on a water surface at 20°C. If the weight of the needle is 4.368 x 10-3 N, what minimum length of needle is needed for it to rest on the surface?A. 30 mm C. 90 mmB. 60 mm D. 120 mmarrow_forward
- Pressure, center of mass and heat:a.A nurse needs to inject liquid medicine into your body by exerting 0.54 N force onto a hypodermic syringe. If the barrel of the syringe has 2.0 x 10^5 m and syringe's needle has 1.0 x 10^-6 m cross sectional areas, with what force does the medicine come out from the needle into your body? b.There are two objects separated by 127 cm distance. One is 2.0 kg in mass on the left and the other one 4.0 kg in mass at the right, find the center of mass point of the system from the left object?C. Calculate the energy needed to convert 1.27 kg of ice at zero degree into 20 °C water? The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg C and latent heat of ice is 3.33 x10^5 J/kg.arrow_forwardTHERMODYNAMICS; SOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY In order to save on imported fuel, Philippine researchers propose blending diesel with coconut methyl ester (CME) or cocodiesel derived from trans-esterification of high grade coconut oil. The mixture of these two compounds is called CME-Diesel Blend. The density of CME is 785 kg/m^3 while that of diesel is 885 kg/m^3. If a 150 L fuel tank of a truck is fully filled with CME-Diesel Blend with a density of 840 kg/m^3, how many kilograms of CME and diesel are in the tank?arrow_forwardReview | Constants Two uniform 66.1-g marbles 2.16 cm in diameter are stacked as shown in the figure in a container that is 3.00 C A cm wide.
