Blocks a, b, and c in FIGURE Q14.7 have the same volume. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the sizes of the buoyant forces Fa , Fb , and Fc on a, b, and c. Explain.

A bucket is filled with water to a height of , then a plug is removed from a hole in the bottom of the bucket. As the water begins to pour out of the hole, how fast is it moving
A 50-cm-thick layer of oil floats on a 120-cm-thick layer of water. What is the pressure at the bottom of the water layer?
The two identical beakers in FIGURE Q14.9 are filled to the same height with water. Beaker B has a plastic sphere floating in it. Which beaker, with all its contents, weighs more? Or are they equal? Explain.

In addition to the buoyant force, an object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force , direction opposite the motion), where is a constant. For a sphere of radius , the drag constant can be shown to be , where is the viscosity of the liquid. Consider a sphere of radiusand density that is released from rest at the surface of a liquid with density .
a. Find an expression in terms of , and the densities for the sphere's terminal speed as it falls through the liquid.
b. Solve Newton's second law to find an expression for , the sphere's vertical velocity as a function of time as it falls. Pay careful attention to signs!
c. Water at has viscosity Pas. Aluminum has density . If a -mm-diameter aluminum pellet is dropped into water, what is its terminal speed, and how long does it take to reach of its terminal speed?
