A child playing in a swimming pool realizes that it is easy to push a small inflated ball under the surface of the water whereas alarge ball requires a lot of force. The child happens to have a styrofoam ball (the shape of the ball will not distort when it isforced under the surface), which he forces under the surface of the water.The density of water is pw = 1.000 × 10³ kg/m³, the density of styrofoam is Proam = 95.0 kg/m³, and the acceleration due togravity is g = 9.81 m/s².If the child needs to supply 527 N to totally submerge theball, calculate the diameter d of the ball.d =B

You place an open bottle filled with olive oil (density 880 kg/m^3) in a container filled with water so that the surfaces of both liquids are at the same level. The bottle has a hole in it 18cm below the surface that is initially closed with adhesive tape, as shown in (Figure 1). Determine the vertical distance Δh between the oil surface and water surface after the tape is removed and the equilibrium is reached. Assume that the volume of water is much greater than the volume of olive oil, so that the decrease in the water level is negligible.
A spherical weather balloon is filled with hydrogen until its radius is 4.10 m. Its total mass including the instruments it carries is 17.0 kg. (a) Find the buoyant force acting on the balloon, assuming the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. 3649.7 X KN (b) What is the net force acting on the balloon and its instruments after the balloon is released from the ground? 3492.9 X KN (c) Why does the radius of the balloon tend to increase as it rises to higher altitude? Because the external pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
