If a ball of radius 0.1 m is suspended in water, density = 997 kg/m^3, what is the volume of water displaced and the buoyant force?

Part A

The volume of water displaced is 4.1887902 × 10⁻³ m³

Part B

The buoyant force is approximately 40.93 N

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

The radius of the ball suspended (barely floating) in the water, r = 0.1 m

The density of the water, ρ = 997 kg/m³

Part A

The volume of the ball = The volume of a sphere = (4/3)·π·r³

∴ The volume of the ball = (4/3) × π × 0.1³ = 0.0041887902 m³ = 4.1887902 × 10⁻³ m³

Therefore;

The volume of water displaced, V = The volume of the ball = 4.1887902 × 10⁻³ m³

The volume of water displaced, V = 4.1887902 × 10⁻³ m³

Part B

The buoyant force = The weight of the water displaced = Mass of the water, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

The buoyant force = m × g

Where;

g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

The mass of the water, m = ρ × V

∴ m = 997 kg/m³ × 4.1887902 × 10⁻³ m³ = 4.17622383 kg

The buoyant force = 4.17622383 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 40.93 N.

think about the oscillation of the toy shown in the video. when the toy is at the highest point of its motion, its velocity is zero and its acceleration is negative.
