A raft is made of 15 logs lashed together. Each is 41 cm in diameter and has a length of 6.2 m .

How many people can the raft hold before they start getting their feet wet, assuming the average person has a mass of 70 kg ? Do not neglect the weight of the logs. Assume the specific gravity of wood is 0.60.

1.) The femur of an elephant is about 90 cm long and 15 cm in diameter. This is a scaling problem. The largest dinosaur probably weighed about 10 times as much as a large elephant. In this problem we will be discussing scaling. For reference, areas scale as length squared(A=L^2 for a square and A=3.14*r^2 for a circle) and volume scales as length cubed. To describe the size of a dinosaur's femur compared to that of an elephant's, the dinosaur's...

A birthday candle is 2.5 inches long and 0.75 cm in diameter. It’s made of paraffin wax, which is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, but for the sake of argument we’ll assume it’s all C31H64, since that’s the major component. Its density is 0.90 g/cm3 paraffin. If air is 20.95% O2 by volume, and the density of O2 is 1.43 g/L, then how many liters of air will the candle consume if it completely burns up? (Note that paraffin combines...

. A steam main (outside diameter of 16.8 cm and inside diameter of 15.4 cm) is covered with 5-cm of high temperature insulation (k = 0.095 W/m. K) and 3.8 cm of lower temperature insulation (k = 0.07W/m. K). Calculate the heat loss from 150 m pipe assuming that inner and outer surface temperatures of the insulation are 450 and 30 °C, respectively. Also determine the temperature at the interface between two layers of insulation (10 points).
