Problem 5.1
a) It is wintertime and you have to cross a lake. Unfortunately, the only option is to use one of the pieces of
ice floating on the water with an area of about 4.0 m? (the ice pieces have roughly circular and disc-like
shapes). Assume your mass is 70 kg - what minimum thickness must an ice piece have so that you can stand
on it just without getting your shoes wet?
Use density of water of 1.0 10° kg/m and ice of 0.92 · 10 kg/m?
Hint: Figure out what are the upward and downward forces in that problem.
b) On a field trip, you have to characterize an ore sample. The sample weights 18.30 N in air. When you
suspend it by a light string and totally immerse it in water, the tension in the cord is 11.50 N. What is the
total volume and the density of your sample?
Use density of water of 1.000 · 10° kg/m?
