A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a radius of r0 and a density of ρ0 is placed in a container of water. Initially the sphere floats and the water level is marked on the side of the container. What happens to the water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere which has different physical parameters?

Notation: r means the water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays the same.

1. The new sphere has a density of ρ = ρ₀ and a radius of r < r₀.
2. The new sphere has a mass of m > m₀ and a density of ρ = ρ₀.
3. The new sphere has a radius of r > r₀ and a mass of m = m₀.

4. The new sphere has a mass of m = m₀ and a density of ρ > ρ₀.  
5. The new sphere has a radius of r = r₀ and a density of ρ > ρ₀.
6. The new sphere has a mass of m > m₀ and a radius of r = r₀.

7. The new sphere has a density of ρ < ρ₀ and a radius of r > r₀.
8. The new sphere has a radius of r < r₀ and a mass of m > m₀.
9. The new sphere has a density of ρ > ρ₀ and a mass of m < m₀.

New Cities Boom or Bust? Consider a region with a workforce of 12 million in a single city. The urban utility curve reaches its maximum with 6 million workers and includes the following combinations (W = workers; U = utility in $):

Suppose the government establishes a new city with 3 million workers, leaving 9 million workers in the old city. Assume that the number of cities remains at two.

a) Immediately following the establishment of the new city, the utility in the small new city is _____ and the utility in the large old city is _____
b) On the utility curve, mark the position of the new city with “N” and the position of the old city (immediately following the formation of the new city) with “D.”

Use arrows to indicate the direction of movement for each city.
c) In the long-run equilibrium, the workforce of the new city = _____ with utility = _____; the workforce of the old city = _____ with utility = _____

An existing 36-inch diameter concrete gravity sewer installed on a slope of 0.25% currently conveys a peak flow rate of 12 cfs. A builder proposes to connect a new residential development to this existing sewer. Projected peak flow from this new development is 4 cfs.

a) Depth of flow in sewer before new development is connected

b) Depth of flow in sewer after new development is connected

c) Flow velocity in sewer after new development is connected

d) Flow type (critical, subcritical or supercritical) after new development is connected

e) Diameter of a sewer to convey combined peak flow of 16 cfs if maximum allowable D/d is 0.85 (i.e. assume you are designing new sewer on the same 0.25% slope)
