Suppose you have two life preservers that are identical in size, the first a light one filled with foam and the second a very heavy one filled with lead pellets. If you submerge these life preservers in water, upon which will the buoyant force be greater? Upon which will the buoyant force be ineffective? Why are your answers different?
To identify: The life preserver that will experience greater buoyant force. Also, the life preserver that will experience more effective buoyant force.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Buoyant force:-
Pressure of water increases with depth, therefore pressure on the lower surface of an object is greater than the pressure on upper surface, it means upward force acting on lower surface of object is greater than the downward force acting on the upper surface of object hence a net force acts in upward direction which is known as buoyant force.
As the lead pallets life preserver is having higher density than water so it will sink and not affected by buoyant force and we all know density is directly proportional to the buoyant force and foam is having less density than water so its start floating and buoyant force is decreased on it .
Lead pallet life preserver is having higher density so it will sink and hence buoyant force is ineffective on it because buoyant force on an object which lie at the bottom of water is ineffective.
The sizes of foam and lead pallets preservers are same so both the preserves will displaced same amount of water when they get submerged due to which buoyant force on both of them will be equal. The foam preserver is more effective in comparison to the lead pallets preserver, because foam preserver is lighter due to which it can float.Upon lead pallets preserver buoyant force will be ineffective due to its heavy weight.
Conclusion:
The sizes of foam and lead pallets preservers are same so both the preserves will displaced same amount of water when they get submerged due to which buoyant force on both of them will be equal. The foam preserver is more effective in comparison to the lead pallets preserver, because foam preserver is lighter due to which it can float.Upon lead pallets preserver buoyant force will be ineffective due to its heavy weight.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
