A 950-kg cylindrical can buoy floats vertically in seawater. The diameter of the buoy is 0.900 m. Calculate the additional distance the buoy will sink when an 80.0-kg man stands on top of it.
A lunar lander is makingits descent to Moon Base I (Fig. E2.40). The lander descendsslowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine iscut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downwardspeed of 0.8m/s . With the engine off, the lander is in freefall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface?The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is .

In each case, find the x- and y-components of vector: (a); (b); (c); (d), where.
