Chapter 2, Problem 2.15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To derive a formula for ρf in terms of ρs, R and h/H.

Concept introduction:

According to Archimedes’ principle, both the masses that is the mass of fluid displaced by the body and mass of the floating body is similar to each other.

To obtain mass of the fluid displaced by the object:

  1. Total volume of the right-circular cone is:
  2. Vcone=πR2h3

  3. Volume of the cone that floats on water is

V'=πr2h3

where, h is height of the cone that is not submerged and r is the radius at the surface of the water.
