A 65.0-kg survivor of a cruise line disaster rests atop a block of Styrofoam insulation, using it as a raft. The Styrofoam has dimensions 2.00 mx 2.00 mx 0.0820 m. The bottom 0.025 m of the raft is submerged. (a) Draw a force diagram of the system consisting of the survivor and raft. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) Choose File No file chosen This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Write Newton's second law for the system in one dimension, using B for buoyancy, w for the weight of the survivor, and w, for the weight of the raft. (Set a 0. Solve for Fy, the y-component of the net force. Let upward be the positive y-direction.) (c) Calculate the numeric value for the buoyancy, 8. (Seawater has density 1025 kg/m³. Enter answer to at least the ones digit.) N (d) Using the value of B and the weight w of the survivor, calculate the weight w, of the Styrofoam. (e) What is the density of the Styrofoam? kg/m3 (f) What is the maximum buoyant force, corresponding to the raft being submerged up to its top surface? N 5:49 PM
