When the U.S. submarine Squalus became disabled at a depth of 54.6 m, a cylindrical chamber was lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamber had a radius of 2.71 m and a height of 2.35 m, was open at the bottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that a diver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once it reached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escape into the chamber. During the descent, air was released from tanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber. Assume the interior air pressure matched the water pressure at depth h as given by p=p0+ρ⁢g⁢h, where p0 = 1.00 atm is the surface pressure and ρ= 1040 kg/m3 is the density of seawater. Assume a surface temperature of 24.0 ˚C and a submerged water temperature of -21.1 ˚C. (a) What is the air volume in the chamber at the surface? (b) If air had not been released from the tanks, what would have been the air volume in the chamber at depth h = 54.6 m? Assume that h is a depth of water surface inside the chamber below the sea level. (c) How many moles of air were needed to be released to maintain the original air volume in the chamber?

An amusement park ride consists of a cylindrical chamber of radius R that can rotate. The riders stand along the wall and the chamber begins to rotate. Once the chamber is rotating fast enough (at a constant speed), the floor of the ride drops away and the riders remain "stuck" to the wall. The coefficients of friction between the rider and the wall are us and uk. 1. Draw a free body diagram of a rider of mass m after...
