| Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| \[P_g = \rho g h\] | Hydrostatic gauge pressure at depth \(h\) in a fluid of density \(\rho\). |
| \[P_g = (1.025\times10^{3})\,(9.8)\,(35)\] | Substitute \(\rho = 1.025\times10^{3}\;\text{kg/m}^3\), \(g = 9.8\;\text{m/s}^2\), \(h = 35\;\text{m}\). |
| \[\boxed{P_g \approx 3.5\times10^{5}\;\text{Pa}}\] | Numeric evaluation gives the gauge pressure. |
| Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| \[P_{abs} = P_{atm} + P_g\] | Absolute pressure equals atmospheric plus gauge pressure. |
| \[P_{abs} = 1.01\times10^{5} + 3.5\times10^{5}\] | Add standard atmospheric pressure \(P_{atm}=1.01\times10^{5}\;\text{Pa}\). |
| \[\boxed{P_{abs} \approx 4.5\times10^{5}\;\text{Pa}}\] | Numeric evaluation of absolute pressure. |
| Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| \[V = 1.0\times2.0\times0.03 = 0.06\;\text{m}^3\] | Volume of the rectangular plate. |
| \[m = \rho_{Al} V = (2.7\times10^{3})(0.06)\] | Mass from density of aluminum \(\rho_{Al}\). |
| \[m = 162\;\text{kg}\] | Numeric result for mass. |
| \[W = mg = 162\,(9.8)\] | Weight of the plate. |
| \[W = 1.59\times10^{3}\;\text{N}\] | Numeric value of weight. |
| \[F_b = \rho_{w} g V = (1.025\times10^{3})(9.8)(0.06)\] | Buoyant force using Archimedes’ principle, \(\rho_{w}\) is water density. |
| \[F_b \approx 6.0\times10^{2}\;\text{N}\] | Numeric value of the buoyant force. |
| \[T = W – F_b\] | For slow constant upward motion, net force is zero, so tension balances weight minus buoyancy. |
| \[\boxed{T \approx 9.8\times10^{2}\;\text{N}}\] | Calculated cable tension. |
| Derivation / Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| \[T’ = W – F_b + m a\] | Newton’s second law: upward acceleration \(a\) requires extra upward force \(m a\). |
| \[m a > 0 \;\Rightarrow\; T’ > T\] | Since \(a = 0.05\;\text{m/s}^2\) is upward, the added term increases tension. |
| \[\boxed{T’ \text{ increases}}\] | Therefore, the cable tension becomes larger when the plate accelerates upward. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Ben’s favorite ride at the Barrel-O-Fun Amusement Park is the Flying Umbrella, which is lifted by a hydraulic jack. The operator activates the ride by applying a force of \( 72 \) \( \text{N} \) to a \( 3.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) wide cylindrical piston, which holds the \( 20,000 \) \( \text{N} \) ride off the ground. What is the diameter of the piston that holds the ride?
Two objects labeled K and L have equal mass but densities \( 0.95D_o \) and \( D_o \), respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?
The radius of the aorta is about \( 1 \) \( \text{cm} \) and the blood flowing through it has a speed of about \( 30 \) \( \frac{\text{cm}}{\text{s}} \).

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
