To make it easy to pick up, the cylinder is weighted on the underside with a dense material and the upper part filled with water. The sections are separated by a plastic seal. End view of toy Water Seal Dense Material cm 7cm The cylinder has a diameter of 7cm and length 8cm. The depth of the dense material is cm. Calculate the area of seal required to keep the two substances separate. 9. The depth, d metres, of water in a harbour over a hour period starting at 0600 is 0 given by the formula d cos 0t, where t is the number of hours after 0600. (a) Write down the maximum and minimum depth of water in the harbour. A pod of whales enters the harbour at 0600 when the water is at its maximum depth. They need to swim in water at least m deep or they become distressed. (b) At what time, to the nearest minute, must the pod leave the harbour to prevent any distress? KU RE 0.
