When Janelle releases the ball, it begins to rise to the surface.

This force corresponds to the weight of the volume of the displaced liquid. For example, a object immersed in water (density 1000 kg / m3 ) will undergo a flare of Archimedes of 9810 N for each cubic meter of its submerged volume (i.e. 9, 81 m / s2 1000 kg / m3 1 m3 = 9810 N). A buoy is made from a steel tube 4 meters long and 0.5 radius meter to which we welded a half-sphere at each end. Knowing that the weight of the buoy is 3630 N say what will be the immersion height of this buoy if it is submerged in fresh water (density 1000 kg / m3 ).arrow_forward
