Explanation Given that the volume of the metal is 50.0 cm 3 , and its specific gravity is 5.0 . Since the piece of metal is moving vertically downward in the water, let us consider the + y direction be downward. The initial speed of the piece of metal is zero and hence it can be assumed that there is no drag acting at the initial point. Write the equilibrium condition on the forces in the vertical direction on a body. ∑ F y = 0 (I) Apply this equilibrium condition to the piece of metal moving down the water. m g − m a = F B (II) Here, m is the mass of the metal, g is the acceleration due to gravity, a is the initial acceleration of the metal, F B is the buoyant force, m g represents the gravitational force on the metal, and m a represents the initial force on the metal with which it is released. Solve equation (II) for a . a = g − F B m (III) Write the expression for the buoyant force on the metal. F B = ρ w g V (IV) Here, ρ w is the density of water, and V is the volume of the metal. Write the expression for the mass of the metal in terms of its density
