Concept explainers
The three metal balls are held suspended and submerged in water. Rank the buoyant force on each from greatest to least.
To determine: The rank of the buoyant force from greatest to least.
Answer:
The rank of buoyant force from greatest to least is
Explanation:
Given Info: The volume of the metal ball A is
Write the expression for buoyancy force.
Here,
From above expression, the relation between buoyancy force and volume of the ball is shown below.
The value of buoyancy force depends upon the volume of the ball. The volume of ball C is more that the volume of ball A and B.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the rank of buoyant force from greatest to least is
