Several members of the drug cartel are transporting large amounts of money, gold, and drugs across the ocean. They suddenly realize that law enforcement is closing in on them from all directions.  They discreetly throw all of the evidence overboard, with plans to return to the spot at a later time to retrieve all of the cargo from the bottom of the sea.  One of the objects thrown overboard is a solid sphere of gold, with a diameter of 0.253 m.  The density of the sea is 1.025 x 103 kg/m3 and the density of gold is 19.32 x 103 kg/m3. A crane then lifts the sphere off the ocean floor and holds it suspended at rest in the water at a depth of 225 m (the top of the sphere is at this depth). a. Calculate the fluid pressure acting on the top of the sphere. b. Calculate the buoyant force acting on the sphere c. How much force must the crane apply to hold the sphere suspended at rest?

c. Now imagine you have a fully associative cache with the same specifications as the as the direct mapped cache in part a. This cache has: 8 blocks Each block as 8 words Each address has 16 bits Perform the same sequence of memory accesses: X0123, x0ABC , x0223, x0123, x0142, x0122, x01B3, x0AB9 What will the contents of the cache be at the end of the sequence? Please use the same approach as in the previous question to input your answer.

Imagine you have a direct mapped cache as shown in the table below. This cache has: 8 blocks Each block as 8 words Each address has 16 bits     a.
