Week 9
Read: Now you should definitely read Submerged Bodies (ASGv2 Chap. 15); Syringes, Siphons and Suckling Infants (ASGv2 Chap. 16); and Life Under a Sea of Air (ASGv2 Chap. 17).
Key topics: hydrostatic pressure, barometers, siphons, weighing earth's atmosphere, barometric formula (PHY 201 folks).

Homework:
Lab: Canoe Conundrum (Ex. 15.3), Bell Jar Laboratory (Ex. 16.6)

Canoe conundrum video?
Chapter 16 (6 videos):
Chain siphon videos (2 optional videos; only watch these if you are bored and have time on your hands): These two fun videos discuss the "siphoning" of a string of beads out of an elevated jar. Notice, however, that a string of beads is "siphoned" for a very different reason than the siphons we've been discussing. In particular: the siphoning action is -not- caused by atmospheric pressure. Rather, it is caused by the cohesion of the beads to one another. Strictly speaking, water could also be "siphoned", like these beads, without an atmosphere -if- the internal cohesion of water was strong enough (but it is not).
Chapter 17 (2 videos):
- Ice cube: A large ice cube, whose density is 0.917 g/cc, is placed in a glass. Water is then poured into the glass until the glass is full to the rim.
- First, what fraction of the ice cube is submerged?
- When the ice melts, will the water level overflow the glass, will it fall below the rim, or will it remain the same? Explain your answer.
- Hydrostatic Pressure and Buoyancy (Ex. 15.1),
- Valved Siphon (Ex. 16.4),
- Weighing Venus' Atmosphere (Ex. 17.2)
