The -tall cylinder in FIGURE P14.61 contains air at a pressure of . A very thin, frictionless piston of negligible mass is placed at the top of the cylinder, to prevent any air from escaping, then mercury is slowly poured into the cylinder until no more can be added without the cylinder overflowing. What is the height h of the column of compressed air?
Hint: Boyle's law, which you learned in chemistry, says for a gas compressed at constant temperature, which we will assume to be the case.

A cylinder with cross-section area floats with its long axis vertical in a liquid of density .
a. Pressing down on the cylinder pushes it deeper into the liquid. Find an expression for the force needed to push the cylinder distance deeper into the liquid and hold it there.
b. A -diameter cylinder floats in water. How much work must be done to push the cylinder deeper into the water?
Asoda can is in diameter and has a mass of . Such a soda can half full of water is floating upright in water. What length of the can is above the water level?
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?
The two --diameter cylinders in FIGURE , closed at one end, open at the other, are joined to form a single cylinder, then the air inside is removed.
A. How much force does the atmosphere exert on the flat end of each cylinder?
B. Suppose one cylinder is bolted to a sturdy ceiling. How many football players would need to hang from the lower cylinder to pull the two cylinders apart?
