**Question #2:**A brass cube 6 inches on a side weighs 67 lb. We want to hold this cube in equilibrium under water by attaching a light foam buoy to it. If the foam weighs 4.5 lb/ft³, what is the minimum required volume of the buoy?**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram depicts a brass cube submerged under water with a foam buoy attached to it. Here are the key elements:- **Brass Cube**: Positioned at the bottom, with arrows indicating forces acting on it. - **\( W_B \)**: Weight of the brass. - **\( F_{BB} \)**: Buoyant force acting on the brass cube.- **Foam Buoy**: Positioned above the brass cube in the water with arrows indicating forces acting on it. - **\( W_F \)**: Weight of the foam. - **\( F_{BF} \)**: Buoyant force acting on the foam.- **Wires**: Connect the brass cube and foam buoy, maintaining tension and equilibrium.The goal is to determine the minimum volume of the foam buoy needed to balance the brass cube underwater.

Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.
