(II) Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the Earth in a circular $\textbf{near-Earth orbit}$. A "near-Earth" orbit is at a height above the surface of the Earth that is very small compared to the radius of the Earth. [$Hint$: You may take the acceleration due to gravity as essentially the same as that on the surface.] Does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?

Tor the cellar of a new house, a hole is dug in the ground,
-with vertical sides going down $2.40 \mathrm{m}$. A concrete foundamall is built all the way across the $9.60-\mathrm{m}$ width of the excavation. This foundation wall is $0.183 \mathrm{m}$ away from the front of the cellar hole. During a rainstorm, drainage from the strect fills up the spacc in front of the concrete wall, but not the cellar behind the wall. The water does not soak into the clay soil. Find the force the water causes on the foundation wall. For comparison, the weight of the water is given by $2.40 \mathrm{m} \times 9.60 \mathrm{m} \times 0.183 \mathrm{m} \times 1000 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \times$
$9.80 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}=41.3 \mathrm{kN}$

The tank in Figure P14.14 is filled with water $2.00 \mathrm{m}$ deep. At the bottom of one side wall is a rectangular hatch $1.00 \mathrm{m}$ high and $2.00 \mathrm{m}$ wide, which is hinged at the top of the hatch. (a) Determine the force the water exerts on the hatch. (b) Find the torque exerted by the water about the hinges.

Review problem. The Abbott of Aberbrothock paid to have a bell moored to the Inchcape Rock to warn scamen of the hazard. Assume the bell was $3.00 \mathrm{m}$ in diameter, cast from brass with a bulk modulus of $14.0 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2} .$ The pirate Ralph the Rover cut loose the warning bell and threw it into the ocean. By how much did the diameter of the bell decrease as it sank to a depth of $10.0 \mathrm{km}^{2}$ Years later, Ralph drowned when his ship collided with the rock. Note: The brass is compresed uniformly, so you may model the bell as a sphere of diameter $3.00 \mathrm{m}$

Figure P14.16 shows Superman attempting to drink water through a very long straw. With his great strength he achicves maximum possible suction. The walls of the tubular straw do not collapse. (a) Find the maximum height through which he can lift the water. (b) What If? Still thirsty, the Man of Steel repeats his attempt on the Moon, which has no atmosphere. Find the difference between the water levels inside and outside the straw.
