A 1.5-m-long glass tube that is closed at one end is weighted and lowered to the bottom of a freshwater lake. When the tube is recovered, an indicator mark shows that water rose to within 0.40 m of the closed-end. Determine the depth of the lake. Assume constant temperature.

 

Consider the following.

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a freshwater lake at a depth of 32.9 m. Assume the density of the water is 1.00x 103 kg/m3 and the air above is at a pressure of 101.3 kPa.

(b) What force is exerted by the water on the window of an underwater vehicle at this depth if the window is circular and has a diameter of 32.6 cm?

(A worker poling a boat—a very efficient mode oftransportation—across a shallow lake.) He pushes parallel to thelength of the light pole, exerting a force of magnitude 235 N onthe bottom of the lake. Assume the pole lies in the vertical planecontaining the keel of the boat. At one moment, the pole makes anangle of 36.5° with the vertical and the water exerts a horizontaldrag force of 47.5 N on the boat, opposite to its forward velocityof magnitude 0.857 m/s. The mass of the boat including its cargoand the worker is 397 kg.
The water exerts a buoyant force vertically upward on the boat.Find the magnitude of this force.
