A large 5-m long Tiger Shark caught off the coast of Florida was found to weigh 15000 N (on the boat). Its humongous liver was removed and found to weigh 3500 N! A subsequent buoyancy test found that the oil-filled liver has an average density of 0.92 kg/L.

a) What is the total mass of the shark?

b) What is the mass of the shark without the liver?

c) Which of the following expressions can be used for finding the overall (or 'average') density of an object made up of component B embedded in component A? (recall, p is the symbol for density)

1. paverage = pAMA + pBMB / MA + MB

2. paverage = pA + pB / 2

3. paverage = pA + pB / 2 (MA + MB)

4. paverage = pAMA + pBMB / 2

d) If the shark is precisely neutrally buoyant in salty seawater of density 1.05 kg/L, what is the density of the shark WITHOUT its liver?

Orange Oil Exploration Company is deciding whether to drill for oil off the coast of Florida. The company estimates that the project would cost $4.12 million today. The firm estimates that once drilled, the oil will generate positive cash flows of $2.06 million a year at the end of each of the next four years. While the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, it recognizes that if it waits two years, it would have more information about...

A 90 kg student jumps off a bridge with a 10-m-long bungee cord tied to his feet. The massless bungee cord has a spring constant of 390 N/m. You can assume that the bungee cord exerts no force until it begins to stretch. How far below the bridge is the student's lowest point? How far below the bridge is the student's resting position after the oscillations have been fully damped?
