A civil engineering model for W W , the weight (in units of 1000 pounds) that a span of a bridge can withstand without sustaining structural damage is normally distributed. Suppose that for a certain span W ∼ N ( 350 , 35 2 ) . Suppose further that the weight of cars traveling on the bridge is a random variable with mean 3.5 and standard deviation 0.35 . Approximately how many cars would have to be on the bridge span simultaneously to have a probability of structural damage that exceeded 0.1 ?

A father (weight W = 858 N) and his daughter (weight W = 372 N) are spending the day at the lake. They are each sitting on a beach ball that is just submerged beneath the water (see the figure). Ignoring the weight of the air in each ball, and the volumes of their legs that are under the water, find (a) the radius of father's ball and (b) the radius of daughter's ball
