A sphere is floating in a pool of water. The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and the volume of the water displaced is .0005 m^3. What is the mass of the sphere in kilograms? Use Archimedes principle and Newton's second law to solve. That is, consider the floating object as being in equilibrium and use: FB – Fw = 0.VWhere FB is the buoyant force of the liquid and the Fw is the weight force of the object. Type your answer. 10 points Now we place the same ball from the above question into a pool of unknown liquid and observe that it floats a little lower than it did in the water. The volume of the displaced liquid is .0007 m^3. Determine the density of the liquid in kg/m^3 using the same principles as before.
