Physics of a Water Park

At the water park you will be asked to calculate multiple aspects of physics around the park. Your group will need to develop methods to solve each question. You will need to make sure any lab equipment you intend to use will be available for use on the day at the water park. Groups will need to checkout lab equipment before going to the park.

Your group write up should be very clear using the ICAN model for each part. For each of the tasks above, you need to list your method (you can use bullet points), show your measurements done at the park, show your calculations done using your measurements, and give your final answer. You should be as complete as possible. ** The completed write up should look professional **! Your groups will also be presenting your findings by video.
 * 1) Find the height of the Family Raft Ride using some mathematics method.
 * 2) Find the speed of the lazy river. How long does it take to complete 15 laps around the lazy river a) in theory and b) in actuality?
 * 3) Find the velocity that a wave travels at in the wave pool.
 * 4) Find the density of the sand on the beach.
 * 5) Find the power of the Family Raft Ride conveyer belt (assume no energy loss).
 * 6) Estimate the rate (volume of water/time) the rain Fortress uses water.
 * 7) Find the speed of riders at the bottom of the Boomerango.
 * 8) Find the displacement from start to finish on the Superbowl.
 * 9) Find the work done by friction on the speed slide on the a) vertical and b) horizontal sections of the ride.
 * 10) Find the volume of water in the Oasis pool.
 * 11) Find the force needed to sink a raft (Specify the dimensions of the raft you use).

As your client I would like to take the opportunity let you know what my company will need you to produce now that you have had a chance to get data from the water park. For each of the 11 tasks, we need you to 1) describe the physics behind the method you used to find an answer, 2) list equations (labeling variables) used, 3) show the work with units you used to find the answer, 4) the answer, 5) an analysis of your answer in terms of its validity and precision. I would ask that you be as thorough and complete as possible. A formal format for this report is appropriate. My company will review your processes before determining the payment you will receive.

My company would also ask that you produce a video presentation of your findings at the water park. We would like a brief overview of what you did to solve the problem and then a more detailed explanation of your findings. This will need to be an upbeat presentation as it will be used in our yearly stockholders meeting so we need to have the video be engaging and informative. Payment will be determined by the stockholders. I will be available for questions on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. I look forward to seeing the results.
