- < The mass of a piece of ice is 0.850 kg. density of water = 1.00 x 103 kg/m³, and density of ice = 917 kg/m³. 2. What is the buoyant force on the ice floating freely in liquid water? Enter a positive answer if the buoyant force is upward and a negative answer if the buoyant force is downward. N Question 2 (of 8)arrow_forwardThe gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.20 N as measured when the object is suspended from a spring scale as in Figure a. When the suspended object is submerged in water, the scale reads 3.08 N (Figure b). Find the density of the object. 3333.33 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.

The ball is then released. Neglect any drag or frictional forces exerted on the ball as it moves. 1. Draw a sketch 2. Draw a force diagram showing all the forces exerted on the ball after it's released and motion diagram as the ball moves towards the surface. 3. Solve for sum of forces exerted on ball (magnitude and direction) and the time it takes for the ball to reach the surface.arrow_forward
