A 63.0-kg survivor of a cruise line disaster rests atop a block of Styrofoam insulation, using it as a raft. The Styrofoam has dimensions 2.00 m × 2.00 m × 0.0880m. The bottom 0.022 m of the raft is submerged.
(a) Draw a force diagram of the system consisting of the survivor and raft. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)
(b) Write Newton's second law for the system in one dimension, using B for buoyancy, w for the weight of the survivor, and wr for the weight of the raft. (Set a =0. Solve for Fy, the y-component of the net force. Let upward be the positive y-direction.)
Fy = ______________
(c) Calculate the numeric value for the buoyancy, B. (Seawater has density 1025 kg/m3.)
___________ N
(d) Using the value of B and the weight w of the survivor, calculate the weight wr of the Styrofoam.
__________ N
(e) What is the density of the Styrofoam?
____________ kg/m3
(f) What is the maximum buoyant force, corresponding to the raft being submerged up to its top surface?
_________ N
(g) What total mass of survivors can the raft support?
_________kg
Massof the survivor is m = 64 kg
Volume of the raft V = 2 *2* 0.09m
= 0.36m^3
Volume of the raft submerged in the water is V_s = 2*2*0.025m
= 0.1m^3
a)
b) The buoyancy force B = w + w_r
c) Buoyancy force is B = ρ V g
= 1025 kg / m^3 * 0.1m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2
= 1004.5 N
d) The weight of the styroform is
w_r = B - w
= 10004.5 N - 64 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
= 377.3 N
e ) density of the styroform is
m = w_r / g
= 377.3 N / 9.8 m/s^2
= 38.5 kg
ρ = m / V
= 38.5 kg / 0.36 m^3
= 106.9 m^3
f ) Maximum buoyance force
B = ρ V g
= 1025 kg / m^3 * 0.36 m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2
= 3616.2 N
g) Total mass is w = B - w_r
mg = B - w_r
m = 3616.2 N - 377.3N / 9.8 m/s^2
= 330.5 kg

A U-tube contains liquid of unknown density. An oil of density 770 kg/m³ is poured into one arm of the tube until the oil column is 13.5 cm high. The oil-air interface is then 4.5 cm above the liquid level in the other arm of the U-tube. Find the density of the liquid. A raft is made of 11 logs lashed together. Each is 38.0 cm in diameter and has a length of 7.00 m. How many people (whole number)...
