How much force is needed to push a nearly weightless but rigid 1-L carton beneath a surface of water?
The force needed to push a nearly weightless rigid carton beneath a surface of water.
Answer to Problem 37A
The force needed to push a nearly weightless rigid carton beneath a surface of water is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The weight of carton is
Formula used:
The expression for force is
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the 1 L carton will displace 1 L of water and the mass of
Consider the acceleration due to gravity as
The force needed to push a nearly weightless rigid carton beneath a surface of water is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the force needed to push a nearly weightless rigid carton beneath a surface of water is
