6. A wooden spherical ball with specific gravity = 0.42 and a
diameter of 30 cm is dropped from a height of 4.20 m
above the surface of the water at the deep end of the
swimming pool. If the ball barely touches the bottom of
the pool before it began to float, how deep is the pool at
the point?

14. The flow rate of water in a 6-m wide rectangular channel
is to be measured using a 1.1 m-high sharp-crested
rectangular weir that spans across the channel. If the

by placing 1.2-m high and 0.25-m wide rectangular
concrete blocks (ρc = 2700 kg/m3) side by side, as shown
in figure. The friction coefficient between the ground and
the concrete blocks is μ = 0.4, and the density of the mud

blocks may slide or tip over the lower left edge as the
mud level rises. Determine the mud height at which the
blocks will overcome friction and start sliding and the
blocks will tip over.

floor at a depth of 10 m as shown in figure. A mercury
barometer located inside the shell reads 765 mm Hg, and
a mercury U-tube manometer designed to give the
outside water pressure indicates a differential reading of
735 mm Hg as illustrated. Based on these data what is
the atmospheric pressure at the ocean surface?
21. The maximum blood pressure in the upper arm of a
healthy person is about 120 mmHg. If a vertical tube
open to the atmosphere is connected to the vein in the
arm of the person, determine how high the blood will
rise in the tube. Take the density of the blood to be 1040
kg/m3.

angular velocity of 12 rad/s, determine the resultant
force the kerosene exerts on the lid.
24. An open, 2-ft-diameter tank contains water to a depth of
3 ft when at rest. If the tank is rotated about its vertical
axis with an angular velocity of 180 rpm, what is the
minimum height of the tank walls to prevent water from
spilling over the sides?
