Asoda can is in diameter and has a mass of . Such a soda can half full of water is floating upright in water. What length of the can is above the water level?
The -tall cylinder in FIGURE P14.61 contains air at a pressure of . A very thin, frictionless piston of negligible mass is placed at the top of the cylinder, to prevent any air from escaping, then mercury is slowly poured into the cylinder until no more can be added without the cylinder overflowing. What is the height h of the column of compressed air?
Hint: Boyle's law, which you learned in chemistry, says for a gas compressed at constant temperature, which we will assume to be the case.
Wind blows over the house in FIGURE Q14.11. A window on the ground floor is open. Is there an airflow through the house? If so, does the air flow in the window and out the chimney, or in the chimney and out the window? Explain.
A. In FIGURE , how much force does the fluid exert on the end of the cylinder at?
B. How much force does the fluid exert on the end of the cylinder at ?
A research submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window 8.0 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up to 1.0 * 106 N. What is the submarine’s maximum
safe depth? The pressure inside the submarine is maintained at 1.0 atm.
