Understanding the concept of buoyancy

We can use the concept of buoyancy, which states that the downward force or weight of the body is balanced by the upward buoyancy force for the object to float. The weight of the displaced fluid is equal to the weight of the object in this condition. By using submerged volume, we can find the mass of the sphere as well as the density of the material.

Formula:

Volume of a hollow sphere,V=43rout3-rin3 (i) Downward force on a body,Fbuoyancy=蚁gV (ii)

Buoyant force exerted by fluid on body, (iii)

Volume of sphere, V=43r3 (iv)

a) Calculation of mass of sphere

Let鈥檚 assume V is the volume of the sphere. Since half of the sphere is submerged, volume of the water displaced is V/2. We can find the weight of this displaced water as

W=wgV2 (v)

This would provide the force of buoyancy due to which the sphere floats.

So, the weight of the sphere is balanced by the force of buoyancy, hence can be written using equation (ii) & (v) as:

Ws=Wmsg=wgW2

mS=wV2 (vi)

Volume can be written in terms of the outer radius of the sphere using equation (iv), we get

V=43ro3

Substituting the value in the above equation (vi) and using the given values, we have

ms=w1243ro3=800kg/m3230.09m3=1.22kg

Hence, the mass of the sphere is 1.22 kg

b) Calculation of density of material in sphere

We know that

Density=MassVolume (vii)

Using equation (i), we get the volume of the hollow sphere as:

Volume=433.140.09m3-0.80m3=9.0910-4m3

Now, using the above value and the given values in equation (vii), we get

Density=1.22kg9.0910-4m3=1.3103kg/m3

Hence, the density of the material is 1.3103kg/m3

The tension in a string holding a solid block below the surface of a liquid (of density greater than the block) is T0when the container (Fig. 14-57) is at rest. When the container is given an upward acceleration of 0.250g, what multiple of T0 gives the tension in the string?

An alligator waits for prey by floating with only the top of its head exposed, so that the prey cannot easily see it. One way it can adjust the extent of sinking is by controlling the size of its lungs. Another way may be by swallowing stones (gastrolithes) that then reside in the stomach. Figure shows a highly simplified model (a 鈥渞hombohedron gater鈥) of mass130kgthat roams with its head partially exposed. The top head surface has area0.20m2. If the alligator were to swallow stones with a total mass of1.0%of its body mass (a typical amount), how far would it sink?

A block of wood has a mass of 3.67 kgand a density of 600kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead ( 1.1410-4kg/m3) so that it will float in water with 0.900of its volume submerged. (a)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the top of the wood? (b)What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to the bottom of the wood?

Figure 14-48 shows an iron ball suspended by thread of negligible mass from an upright cylinder that floats partially submerged in water. The cylinder has a height of6.00 cm, a face area of12.0cm2on the top and bottom, and a density of 0.3g/cm3, and 2.00 cmof its height is above the water surface. What is the radius of the iron ball?
