A (cube, with a calculable volume of dimensions Xm=7 x Ym=7 x Zm=7), having density rho=80 kg/m3, is 80% (less than 100%) submerged in a fluid having density rhofluid=1500 kg/m3. Find a) the tension in a string holding the object to the bottom of container holding the fluid (aside; this only makes sense if the buoyancy force exceeds the object's weight force), and b) the numerical value of the pressure at the top and the bottom of the object, including atmospheric pressure. Remember that: a) the buoyancy force depends only on the submerged volume, rather than the total volume of the object, and b) atmospheric pressure is 101325 pascal (Pa).

A bar magnet falls freely, with its north pole pointing straight down. It approaches and passes through a fixed, horizontally orientated, metal ring.
a) How, if in any way, is the magnet's motion affected as it approaches the ring?
b) How, if in any way, is the magnet's motion affected as it leaves the ring?
Explain briefly with appropriate diagrams showing induced currents and their magnetic effects.

Given the Ising model or a canonical ensemble how is
the critcal temperature calculated?
Also, would you happen to know the relationship between how many neighbor interactions there are and how this affects temperature?
thanks!

10.A 12.3 kg child jumps up and grabs a (round) horizontal tree branch that has a diameter of 6 cm. The child grabs the branch 28 cm from the trunk, and the weight of the child causes the branch to sag. If the shear modulus for the tree is 1.016 x 106N/m2, how how much does the branch sag when weighted?
11.Ropes for rock climbing have a diameter of 10.5 mm and a Young's modulus of 8.72x107 N/m2. If a rock climber of mass 82.4 kg falls when there is 45.8 m of rope out, how far will the rope stretch?

A 3kg object is attached to spring and will stretch the spring 392mm by itself. There is no damping in the system and a forcing function of F(t)=10 coswt, w=(k/w)-2 is attached to the object. The spring is deflected y distance father than equilibrium position due to the F(t). k is the spring modulus and M is the mass of the object.
a) Derive the governing equation for the spring-object mass system decribed in the problem.Assume Mg=hk
b) if the object is initially displaced 20cm downward from its equilibrium position and given a velocity of 10cm/s upward find the displacement of the object at any time t.
c) suppose a damper is added to the mass-spring system that will exert a force of 45N when the velocity is 50cm/s, damping factor of 90kg/s is added to the system. And find the displacement of the object at any time t for this new system
d)Determine the amplitude , nature frequency and phase shift of the object for this new system.

(a) A particle is dropped (from radius a with zero velocity) into the gravitational potential corresponding to a static homogeneous sphere of radius a and density ρ. Calculate how long the particle takes to reach the other side of the sphere. [Hint: the equation of motion is d2r/dt2 = −GM(r)/r2 .]
(b) Calculate the time required for a homogeneous sphere of radius a and density ρ with no internal pressure support to collapse to zero radius under its own gravity. [Apply the previous equation of motion to a particle on the surface.]

1a Describe how thermal energy is obtained by fission, specifically when a U=235 atom is hit by a slow-motion neutron (less than 0.9 MeV). When one states that 200 MeV of energy are released by a fission event, what is the form of this energy?
1b. The energy released by fission is by the change in mass and Einstein’s equation (E=Δmc2). If the mass of one uranium 235 atom is 235.042924 amu and the mass of fission products is 234.92754 amu, determine the energy in Joules and MeV released by one fission. (Note: 1 amu = 1.66 x 10-27kg and 1 ev = 1.6 \x 10-19J).
1c. For an atom, the atomic number is the number of protons, while the atomic weight (i.e. molecular weight) can be 235 or 238 depending on the isotope. Determine the number of atomic particles (electrons, neutrons, and protons) for U-235, U-238, Kr-90. Note: The atomic number of Krypton is 36.
