Get started for freeA bicycle pump is used to inflate a tire. The initial tire (gauge) pressure is 210 kPa (30 psi). At the end of the pumping process, the final pressure is 310 kPa (45 psi). If the diameter of the plunger in the cylinder of the pump is 2.5 cm, what is the range of the force that needs to be applied to the pump handle from beginning to end?
A submerged can of Coke sink, but a can of Diet Coke will float. (Try it!) Explain.
(III) The Earth is not a uniform sphere, but has regions of varying density. Consider a simple model of the Earth divided into three regions—inner core, outer core, and mantle. Each region is taken to have a unique constant density (the average density of that region in the real Earth):
(a) Use this model to predict the average density of the entire Earth. (b) If the radius of the Earth is 6380 km and its mass is 5.98 × 1024Kg, determine the actual average density of the Earth and compare it (as a percent difference) with the one you determined in (a).
(I) State your mass and then estimate your volume. [Hint: Because you can swim on or just under the surface of the water in a swimming pool, you have a pretty good idea of your density.
(I) If you tried to smuggle gold bricks by filling your backpack, whose dimensions are 54cm× 31cm× 22cm what would its mass be?
