John and Tou take their toys down to a nearby pond to play. John has a toy boat made from wood. He places the wooden boat on the pond and it floats. Tau, being a checky little boy, wants to make John's
wooden boat sink. So he attaches a piece of lead on one end of the string, and ties the other loose end onto
John's boat and gently places the lead into the water. Determine the smallest amount of lead (mass) that
will be enough to sink John's boat, assuming the specific gravity of wood is 0.5 and the density of the
pond water is equal to the density of pure water

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 127 ft at an angle of 46.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
