5.Suppose you measure a block’s weight by hanging it from a spring scale. You find that it
weighs 34.0 N
...
34.0 N when it’s not in the water. When it’s submerged in water (the density of water is
1.00 x 103 kg/m3) the scale now reads 27.0 N. (a) What is the density of the block? (b) If you
suspended another object from the block that has a density of 3.20 x 103 kg/m3, with both objects
submerged, what would the object's mass need to be for the scale to once again read 34.0 N?
Note: Part (a) is worth 7 points, and part (b) is worth 8 points.

13.1, A ship is conned around a lighthouse on a submerged reef at a constant distance of 10 nautical miles.
...
les. Draw a neat diagram and find the distance between the instants when the lighthouse 040° T and 120° T.
HINT: This is NOT a problem to be solved using cosine rule. Since the distance is constant, the ship will travel along the arc. You should therefore use radian measure to workout the distance along the arc. Also remember that all bearings are from seawards .
2, The length of a shadow of a vertical flag mast 2.5 meters high is 5.2 meters (shadow's length). Find the sun's altitude.
3, From a ship, a light on the edge of a breakwater bore 045° T . The ship was steering a course of 060° T. After travelling for 30 minutes, the same light bore 280° T and distance off 2.0 nautical miles. Find the speed of the vessel.
