you are hauling a sunken treasure chest out of the ocean. Its dimensions of length and width and height are 1.00 m, 0.5 m, and 0.5m, respectively. While you are pulling up the chest and it is still fully submerged, the tension in the cable that is lifting the chest is 1220 N. What is the mass of the chest?

Density of seawater is 1025 kg/m^3

You are a famous archaeologist/treasure hunter ́a la Indiana Jones. After following a treasure map you find yourself deep inside a Babylonian temple. As you reach the end of a long corridor you find it splits into two paths. Above the first path you make out some text carved into the rock. Shining your torch you manage to make out the following two inscriptions on the wall: 1. L1 ∧ T2 2. (L1 ∧T2)∨(L2 ∧T1) Knowing that the Babylonians were...

A cart for hauling ore out of a gold mine has a mass of 423 kg, including its load. The cart runs along a straight stretch of track that is sloped 4.51° from the horizontal. A donkey, trudging along and to the side of the track, has the unenviable job of pulling the cart up the slope with a 535-N force for a distance of 159 m by means of a rope that is parallel to the ground and makes...

In a book named Treasure, the reader has to figure out where a 2.2 pound, 24 kt gold horse has been buried. If the horse is found, a prize of $27,067 a year for 20 years is provided. The actual cost to the publisher to purchase an annuity to pay for the prize is $284,200. What interest rate (to the nearest percent) was used to determine the amount of the annuity? (Assume end-of-year payments.) (Round factor values to 5 decimal...

You are considering two columns with identical dimensions. One is constructed out of steel, the other aluminium, which will buckle at a smaller load? The euler formula for critical buckling force for column, pin jointed at both ends is given by Pcr = pi^2 EI/ L^2 if the end of the column are constrained to prevent rotation, how will the buckling force change?

Consider a shallow-water wave of length 1.5km propagating in an ocean that is 62.5m deep. a) Calculate the wave’s speed C and period T. (3P) b) Now suppose that this wave propagates into a region in which there is a current of strength U that opposes the wave propagation. Explain how this modifies the dispersion relation and the wave speed. (2P) c) Assuming that the wave’s frequency ω remains constant, create a plot of the wavelength λ as a function...

Pneumothorax is normally treated by insertion of a chest tube to draw air out of the pleural cavity. Explain why this would allow the collapsed lung to reinflate. Support your answer by drawing a diagram of the lungs, pleurae, and pleural cavity before and after inserting a chest tube. Label your diagram with the appropriate alveolar pressure and intrapleural pressure, assuming an atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg.
