Question

A 24 cm radius aluminum ball is immersed in water. Calculate the thrust you suffer and the force. Knowing that the density of aluminum is 2698.4 kg / m3

Answer 1

Answer:

W =1562.53 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the aluminium ball, r = 24 cm = 0.24 m

The density of Aluminium, $d=2698.4\ kg/m^3$

We need to find the thrust and the force. The mass of the liquid displaced is given by :

$m=dV$

V is volume

Weight of the displaced liquid

W = mg

$W=dVg$

So,

$W=dg\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\W=2698.4\times 10\times \dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times (0.24)^3\\\\W=1562.53\ N$

So, the thrust and the force is 1562.53 N.
