Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 87P
You are in the Bermuda Triangle when you see a bubble plume eruption (a large mass of air bubbles, similar to foam) off to the side of the boat. Do you want to head toward it and be part of the action? What is the effective density of the water and air bubbles in the drawing on the right that will cause the boat to sink? Your boat is 10 ft long, and weight is the same in both cases.

For fishing they would be about 5.4 m long, 1.3 meters across at the bottom, and have a hull mass of 215 kg (475 lb weight) if made of aluminum. Along a side they might have a depth of 0.6 meter (about two feet) from the upper edge to the bottom, though many small ones are not that deep. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, or 1000 kg/m3.

- On October 21, 2001, Ian Ashpole of the United Kingdom achieved a record altitude of 3.35 km (11,000 ft) powered by 600 toy balloons filled with helium. Each filled balloon had a radius of about 0.47 m and an estimated mass of 0.32 kg. (a) Estimate the total buoyant force on the 600 balloons. (Enter your answer to at least two decimal places.) kN(b) Estimate the net upward force on all 600 balloons. kN(c) Ashpole parachuted to Earth after the balloons began to burst at the high altitude and the system lost buoyancy. Why did the balloons burst? Atmospheric pressure at this high or low altitude is much lower or higher than at the Earth's surface.arrow_forward6. You are a researcher at a company that makes pressure cookers, and you are in charge of designing the plug weights for pressure cookers. If the operating pressure of the stopper weight of the pressure cooker is 100kPa as the gauge pressure and the cross-sectional area of the steam outlet is 5mm', what should the mass of the stopper weight be? In addition, Mexico City is said to be about 75 to 80% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level at 2200m above sea level. If a pressure cooker is exported to Mexico City, what should be the mass of the stopper? Assume that the standard atmospheric pressure in Korea is 80% of the standard atmospheric pressure in Mexico City.
