Get started for freeA raft is made of 12 logs lashed together. Each is 45 cm in diameter and has a length of 6.5 m. How many people can the raft hold before they start getting their feet wet, assuming the average person has a mass of 68 kg? Do not neglect the weight of the logs. Assume the specific gravity of wood is 0.60.
(I) What is the approximate mass of air in a living room 5.6× 3.6× 2.4m?
(I) If you tried to smuggle gold bricks by filling your backpack, whose dimensions are 54cm× 31cm× 22cm what would its mass be?
Water at a gauge pressure of \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.8}}\;{\bf{atm}}\) at street level flows into an office building at a speed of \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.78}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\) through a pipe \({\bf{5}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)in diameter. The pipe tapers down to \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.8}}\;{\bf{cm}}\) in diameter by the top floor, \({\bf{16}}\;{\bf{m}}\) above (Fig. 10–53), where the faucet has been left open. Calculate the flow velocity and the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.
