    This document provides problems from Chapter 2 of Munson et al's 6th edition of Fluid Mechanics. It lists specific problems to complete from sections on pressure variation in static fluids, pressure measurement, manometry, inclined manometers, force on a plate, and buoyancy and surface tension. It also provides 3 extra problems on buoyancy, involving calculating the height of ice slab protrusion above water with and without penguins, determining how long an ice slab can support penguins as it melts, and calculating the maximum payload of a hot air balloon filled with helium.

    Extra problems on buoyancy

    Problem 1:
    A cylindrical slab of ice (density 900kg/m3) of circular cross section (radius R=2.0m) and
    height H=20cm floats in sea water (density 1030kg/m3).
    (a) A group of N=50 penguins (mass m=5.0kg each) decides this is a good place to rest
    and they hop onto the slab. Determine the height h by which the ice slab protrudes above
    water (i) without the penguins; (ii) after the penguins have hopped on.
    (b) The ice slab drifts southward into warmer water. If the ice melts at a rate of 500cm3 per hour,
    how long does it take until the slab cannot support all of the penguins any more?

    Problem 2: A hot-air balloon weighing 80 kg has a capacity of 1200 m3. If it is filled


    with helium, how great a payload can it support? The density of helium is 0.18 kg/ m3
    and the density of air is 1.30 kg/ m3. Express your answer in Newtons.

    Problem 3
    Sea turtles use their lungs to control their buoyancy. Here are two facts about turtles:
    FACT ONE:
    Before a turtle dives underwater, it inhales some air into its lungs. During the
    turtle’s dive, the air volume in the lungs changes with increasing water pressure
    according to the ideal gas law:
    P = ρRT
    This means that the total body density of the turtle changes with depth.

    FACT TWO:
    Turtles prefer to swim at the depth where they experience “neutral buoyancy,”
    that is, where the vertical forces on the turtle are exactly zero.

    Part A) Clearly identify each variable in the ideal gas law, including units

    Part B) Using Fact One and Fact Two, write an expression for the depth h at which a
    turtle will prefer to swim. Your expression may involve some or all of the following
    variables:

    MT = Mass of the turtle without air


    VT = Volume of the turtle without air
    Mair = Mass of the air the turtle takes in before diving
    Vair = Volume of the air the turtle takes in before diving
    ρw = density of sea water
    g = the acceleration due to gravity
    The variables R and T in the ideal gas law. You can assume T is constant with depth.
