A steel (Bulk Modulus = 160. GPa) sphere of radius 46.8 cm is dropped to the bottom of a 2.80 m deep freshwater lake. By how much will the volume of
the sphere change? (Hint: Pay attention to units) DV = cm3
The pressure increases by 1.0 x 104 N/m2 for every meter of depth beneath the surface of the ocean. At what depth does the volume of a Pyrex (bulk modulus 2.6 x 1010 N/m2) glass cube, 6.8 x 10-2 m on an edge at the ocean's surface, decrease by 7.5 x 10-10 m3?
The velocity distribution for the flow of oil (SAE 10W) at 38°C between two walls is given by
V = 100y(0.1 - y) m/s, where y is measured from the wall in meter and the space between
the walls is 0.1 m. Determine the shear stress at the bottom wall and at the middle of the two
walls.
