Question

Three balls with the same radius 21 cm are in water. Ball 1 floats, with

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

The ball floats with half of it exposed above the water level . So it must have density half that of water . In other words its density must have been 500 kg / m³

B )

Tension in the ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball = buoyant force - weight .

4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1000 - 893 )

= 40.65 x 10⁻⁶ N .

C )Tension in the 3 rd  ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball =  weight  - buoyant force

= 4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1320 - 1000  )

=  121.6  x 10⁻⁶ N .
