A hollow spherical iron shell floats almost completely submerged in water. The outer diameter is 60.0cm, and the density of iron is 7.87gcm3 . Find the inner diameter.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Inner diameter of sphere is 57.34cm

Step by step solution

01

The given data

i) Density of water,ÒÏwater=1.0g/cm3

ii) Density of iron,ÒÏivon=7.87g/cm3

iii) Outer radius,r0=60cm

02

Understanding the concept of buoyancy

Using the concept of buoyancy, we can say that the force of buoyancy is equal to the weight of water displaced. We can find the inner diameter with the help of both densities.

Formula:

Volume of a hollow sphere, V=43Ï€rout3−r¾±Ï€3 (i)

Force applied on a body, F=m×g(ii)

Buoyant force exerted by fluid on a body, F=ÒÏgV(iii)

03

Calculation of inner diameter of hollow sphere

Buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced. The mass of sphere equals the mass of water displaced.

Mass of hollow sphere = Mass of water displaced

Ms=43Ï€°ù3×pwater

Ms=43(3.14)(30)3×(1)

Ms=113040gm

Using the formula of volume of hollow sphere in mass equation (1), we get

43Ï€rout3−rin3ÒÏiron=113040gm

role="math" localid="1657548174348" 43(3.14)303−rin3×7.87=113040gm

rm3=23569.3

rin=28.67cm

So, the inner diameter is2×rin=57.34cm
