"One group notices that uncooked sausages sink to the bottom of the pot, and that when boiled, the cooked sausages float. The group suggests that floating or sinking can be used to test if a sausage is cooked. So they turn off the heat and write up the report. Much later, you notice that the cooked sausages have sunk to the bottom of the pot again. Briefly suggest why the sausages sink or float."

"Spiderman, whose mass is 80.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.0-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 60.0° angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this maneuver? (Note: Ensure to include the required calculations to solve the problem.)"
