Indiana Jones is in a temple searching for artifacts. He finds a gold sphere with a radius of 2 cm sitting on a pressure sensiti

ve plate. To avoid triggering the pressure plate, he must replace the gold with something of equal mass. The density of gold is 19.3.103 kg/m3, and the volume of a sphere is V = 4/3 Ar3. Indy has a bag of sand with a density of 1,602 kg/m3.
(A) What volume of sand must he replace the gold sphere with? If the sand was a sphere, what radius would it have?

Answer:

Volume of Sand = 0.4 m³

Radius of Sand Sphere = 0.46 m

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume of gold sphere:

Vg = (4/3)πr³

where,

Vg = Volume of gold sphere = ?

r = radius of gold sphere = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Therefore,

Vg = (4/3)π(0.2 m)³

Vg = 0.0335 m³

Now, we find mass of the gold:

ρg = mg/Vg

where,

ρg = density of gold = 19300 kg/m³

mg = mass of gold = ?

Vg = Volume of gold sphere = 0.0335 m³

Therefore,

mg = (19300 kg/m³)(0.0335 m³)

mg = 646.75 kg

Now, the volume of sand required for equivalent mass of gold, will be given by:

ρs = mg/Vs

where,

ρs = density of sand = 1602 kg/m³

mg = mass of gold = 646.75 kg

Vs = Volume of sand = ?

Therefore,

1602 kg/m³ = 646.75 kg/Vs

Vs = (646.75 kg)/(1602 kg/m³)

<u>Vs = 0.4 m³</u>

Now, for the radius of sand sphere to give a volume of 0.4 m³, can be determined from the formula:

Vs = (4/3)πr³

0.4 m³ = (4/3)πr³

r³ = 3(0.4 m³)/4π

r³ = 0.095 m³

r = ∛(0.095 m³)

<u>r = 0.46 m</u>

A circular window of 30 cm diameter in a submarine can withstand a maximum force of 5.20 × 105 N. The maximum depth in a lake to
Svetach [21]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         F = 5.20 \times 10^{5} N

         g = 9.8 m/s

         radius = \frac{diameter}{2}

                    = \frac{30 cm}{2} = 15 cm = 0.15 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

Formula to calculate depth is as follows.

        F = \rho \times g \times h \times A

or,      h = \frac{F}{\rho \times g \times A}        

       h = \frac{5.2 \times 10^{5}}{1000 \times 9.8 \times (3.1416 \times (0.15 m^{2})}

           = 751 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum depth in a lake to which the submarine can go without damaging the window is closest 750 m.
