Astudent wants to use indirect measurement to find the thickness of a
sheet of newspaper. in a 50-centimeter tall recycling bin, she finds 50
sheets of newspaper. each sheet in the bin is folded in fourths. design a
procedure for the student to use that would allow her to measure the
thickness of one sheet of newspaper with little or no source of
experimental error. the student has a meter stick and a calculator.

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.1 m below the tank bottom which is a = 7.4 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute)
