A cubical object is of side L = 1.28ft and weight W = 2360 lb in vacuum. It is suspended in an open tank of liquid of density p = 2.12 slugs/ft^3 at a depth L/2 to its top by a vertical thin wire that is normal to one face. A) Find the total downward force extended by the liquid and the standard atmosphere on the top of the object. B) Find the total upward force on the bottom of the object. C) Find the tension in the wire. D) Calculate the buoyant force on the object using Archimedes' principle.

At a lumberjack competition an axe with a mass of 1.25 kg is thrownat a target with a speed of 41 m/s. When it hits the target, itpenetrates to a depth of 0.055 m.
(a) What was the average force exerted by the target on theaxe?
1 N

(b) If the mass of the axe is halved, and the force exerted by thetarget on the axe remains the same, by what multiplicative factordoes the penetration depth change?
