A scuba tank, when fully submerged, displaces 15.7 l of seawater. the tank itself has a mass of 13.7 kg and, when "full," contai

ns 3.00 kg of air. the density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3. assume that only its weight and the buoyant force act on the tank.

The problem is asking for the buoyant force.
The first step is to know the weights of the tank and air. Tank = 13.7 * 9.8 = 134.26 N Air = 3 * 9.8 = 29.4 N Total weight of the tank and air is 163.66 N 
To know the buoyant force, we must convert 15.7 liters to cubic meters. 
1 liter = 1000 ml = 1000 cm^3 1 m = 100 cm 1 m^3= 1,000,000 cm^3 One liter = 1000 divided by 1,000,000 = 0.001 m^3 V = 15 * 0.001 = 0.015 m^3 
Then compute for the buoyant force:Buoyant force = 0.015 * 1025 * 9.8 = 150.675 N

Is it possible for a system to have negative potential energy? a) No, because this would have no physical meaning.b) Yes, as lon
boyakko [2]

Answer: c) Yes, since the choice of the zero of potential energy is arbitrary.

Explanation:

Potential energy depends on the frame in which you are looking at the system.

For example, the potential energy of a lifted object can be written as:

U = mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the object.

But the height depends on where we have the zero if the zero is in the ground, then and h = 5m, then the potential energy is positive, but the 0 is the ground of a cliff, and the object is falling down the cliff, then we will have a negative value for h, which implies that we have negative potential energy.

This means that if we want to make the potential energy equal to zero, we must apply kinetic energy to the object (for example, grabbing it and throwing it upwards). On the other hand, if the potential energy is positive, this means that the object will "produce" kinetic energy as the potential energy starts to decrease. For example, an object that is dropped from a three (with an initial kinetic energy of zero) and only potential energy, and as the object falls to the ground the potential energy goes to zero and transforms completely in kinetic energy.
