Buoyancy Archimedes’ principle says that the buoyant force exerted on an object that is (partially or totally) submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object (see figure). Let ρw = 1 g/cm3 = 1000 kg/m3 be the density of water and let ρ be the density of an object in water. Let f = ρ/ρw. If 0 < f ≤ 1, then the object floats with a fraction f of its volume submerged; if f > 1, then the object sinks.
Consider a cubical box with sides 2 m long floating in water with one-half of its volume submerged (ρ = ρw/2). Find the force required to fully submerge the box (so its top surface is at the water level).
(See the Guided Project Buoyancy and Archimedes’ Principle for further explorations of buoyancy problems.)

- INTRODUCTION: Heat conduction from a cylindrical solid wall of a pipe can be determined by the follow T1-T2 q = 2nLk R2 In R. where: q is the computed heat conduction in Watts. k is the thermal conductivity of the pipe material in Watts/°C/m. L is the length of the pipe in cm. Ri is the inner radius of the pipe in cm. R2 is the outer radius of the pipe in cm. Ti is the internal temperature in °C. T2 is the external temperature in °C. ASSIGNMENT: Write a C program that will allow the user to enter the inner and outer radii of the pipe, the the internal and external temperatures. Once the user enters the input values, the programarrow_forwardImagine that you are facing an infinitely long wall, and you need to reach the only door in the wall. You may walk along the wall to your left or to your right, and at any time you may turn and walk in the opposite direction. You are in fog, so you only know where the door is when you are right in front of it. Assume that the door is an (unknown, but finite) integer number of steps away. As a function of the (possibly unknown) distance to the door, give an algorithm and cost for the minimum number of steps (in the worst case) that you must walk to reach the door in the following situations. For each situation, you should describe the (best) procedure that you could follow and analyze its worst-case cost: (a) You know the door is to your left. (b) You don’t know where the door is, but you know that it is exactly n steps away. (c) You don’t know where the door is, but you know that it is at most n steps awayarrow_forwardA standard science experiment is to drop a ball and see how high it bounces. Once the “bounciness” of the ball has been determined, the ratio gives a bounciness index. For example, if a ball dropped from a height of 10 feet bounces 6 feet high, the index is 0.6, and the total distance traveled by the ball is 16 feet after one bounce. If the ball were to continue bouncing, the distance after two bounces would be 10 ft + 6 ft +6 ft + 3.6 ft = 25.6 ft. Note that the distance traveled for each successive bounce is the distance to the floor plus 0.6 of that distance as the ball comes back up. Write a program that lets the user enter the initial height from which the ball is dropped, the bounciness index, and the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing. Output should be the total distance traveled by the ball. Below is an example of the program input and output: Enter the height from which the ball is dropped: 25 Enter the bounciness index of the ball: .5 Enter the number of…arrow_forward
