Explanation:
Buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid:
B = ρVg
where ρ is the density of the fluid,
V is the volume of the displaced fluid,
and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The fluid is water, so ρ = 1000 kg/m³.
The volume displaced is that of a sphere with radius 2 m:
V = 4/3 π r³
V = 4/3 π (2 m)³
V ≈ 33.5 m³
The buoyancy force is therefore:
B = (1000 kg/m³) (33.5 m³) (9.8 m/s²)
B ≈ 328,400 N
Round as needed.
