Under normal conditions, you are just barely able to lift a mass of 91 kg. Your friend drops a box of volume 7 m3 into a lake. If you are just able to lift it to the surface (so that it is still completely submerged), what is the mass of the box?

To resolve this problem, we should to know over Archimedes' principle

Step 1.

Definition:

Archimedes' principle: indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

Step 2.

ANSWER:

Stating the archimedes' principle says: The Archimedes principle allows the buoyancy of an object partially or wholly immersed in a liquid to be calculated. The downward force on the object is simply its weight. The upward, or buoyant, force on the object is that stated by Archimedes' principle, above. Thus the net upward force on the object is the difference between the buoyant force and its weight. If this net force is positive, the object rises; if negative, the object sinks; and if zero, the object is neutrally buoyant - that is, it remains in place without either rising or sinking. In simple words Archimedes principle states that when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the immersed part of the body.

and   and weigth of the mass that i can lift, is equal to

we have the following

the gravity are cancelled

A power lifter performs a dead lift, raising a barbell with a mass of 305 kg to a height of 0.42 m above the ground, giving the barbell 1256.66 J of potential energy. The power lifter then releases the barbell, letting it drop towards the ground. Determine the magnitude of the vertical velocity of the barbell when it reaches a height of 0.21 m (on the way down) using a mechanical energy approach. Then calculate the velocity right as it...

Under normal market conditions, if your profits are greater than your average total costs, it is called making a profit and new firms try to enter the industry and existing firms expand. If your profits are lower than your average total costs, firms operate at a loss, and often exit the industry or contract. If your profit matches your average total cost, it is called breaking even and most firms operate at their current capacity. However, not all industries are...

A car of mass 2400 kg collides with a truck of mass 4500 kg, and just after the collision the car and truck slide along, stuck together, with no rotation. The car's velocity just before the collision was <35, 0, 0> m/s, and the truck's velocity just before the collision was <-10, 0, 21> m/s. What is the increase in internal energy of the car and truck (thermal energy and deformation)?
