Concept explainers
The buoyant forces on the block from largest to smallest.
Answer to Problem 41Q
Thus, the buoyant forces will be arranged as
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
- Mb = 0.04kg; Ml = 0.20kg.
- Mb = 0.03kg; Ml = 0.15kg.
- Mb = 0.04kg; Ml = 0.12kg.
- Mb = 0.02kg; Ml = 0.08kg.
- Mb = 0.03kg; Ml = 0.12kg.
Formula used:
The buoyant force is calculated by the following formula:
Calculation:
Having the known values, buoyant force is calculated as:
Conclusion:
Thus, the buoyant forces will be arranged as:
