A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and complerely submerged.  The container is 5.9 m long, 2.1 m wide, and 2.5 m high.  Salvage expertsattach a spherical baloon to the top of the container and inflate it using air pumped from the surface. When the baaloon 's radius is 1.4 m the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. 1) What is the mass of the container?  Ignore the mass of the baloon and the air within it 2)  Do not neglect the bouyant force exerted on the shippong container by the water 3) Density of the water is 1025 kg m3

A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and complerely submerged.  The container is 5.9 m long, 2.1 m wide, and 2.5 m high.  Salvage expertsattach a spherical baloon to the top of the container and inflate it using air pumped from the surface.

When the baaloon 's radius is 1.4 m the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface.

1) What is the mass of the container?  Ignore the mass of the baloon and the air within it

2)  Do not neglect the bouyant force exerted on the shippong container by the water

3) Density of the water is 1025 kg m3
