What percentage of an iron anchor’s weight will be supported by buoyant force when submerged in salt water?
1 answer:
Answer:
0.87
Explanation:
To solve this, we use the principle of Archimedes. Archimedes Principal of flotation states that "the buoyant force of an object is equal to the total weight of the fluid it displaces."
In the attachment, I stated the mathemacal formula, of which
F(B) = The buoyant force
w(fl) = The weight of the salt water displaced
p(iron) = density of iron
p(salt) = density of the salt water = 1025 kg/m³
F' = weight of the iron in air
F = weight of the iron in salt water
p(man) = density of man = 7680 kg/m³
The rest are the easy calculations done by substituting the values
