In order to tell a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock, you should <span>sound one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.

You should wait about 400 feet away from the lock and wait for the flashing light signal that allows you to enter.
Also note that </span><span>commercial traffic  always have the first priority in entering the locks.</span>

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N
