TWO UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:

What is the buoyant force exerted by olive oil when a 17.8kg piece of copper is totally immersed into it?
A 950-kg cylindrical can buoy floats vertically in salt water. The diameter of the
buoy is 0.900 m. Calculate the additional distance the buoy will sink when a 70.0-
kg man stands on top of it

SOLUTION:
A slab of ice floats on a freshwater lake. What minimum volume must the slab
have for a 45.0-kg woman to be able to stand on it without getting her feet wet?

SOLUTION:
A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 11.0 m also contains air above
the water at a gauge pressure of 3.00 atm. Water flows out from the bottom
through a small hole. How fast is this water moving?
A 15.0-kg solid gold statue is raised from the sea bottom. What is the tension in
the hoisting cable (assumed massless) when the statue is (a) at rest and
completely underwater and (b) at rest and completely out of the water?
An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample is suspended by a light
cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 11.20 N. Find the
total volume and the density of the sample.
You are preparing some apparatus for a visit to a newly discovered planet Caasi
having oceans of glycerine and a surface acceleration due to gravity of 4.15m/s2.
If your apparatus floats in the oceans on earth with 25.0% of its volume
submerged, what percentage will be submerged in the glycerine oceans of Caasi
