Question 2 a. A spherical solid steel ball (relative density 7.8) of 8 cm in diameter is I dropped into a calm ocean (water temperature 20°C, density 1025 kg/m³). Determine the ball's terminal velocity V, assuming that the ocean is of sufficient depth such that V can be reached. Volume of a sphere of diameter d is nd/6. Make other reasonable assumptions.

a. A spherical solid steel ball (relative density 7.8) of 8 cm in diameter is
dropped into a calm ocean (water temperature 20°C, density 1025 kg/m³).
Determine the ball's terminal velocity V, assuming that the ocean is of
sufficient depth such that V can be reached. Volume of a sphere of diameter d
IS īd³/6. Make other reasonable assumptions.
b. Determine the specific weight, density and specific gravity of a liquid that
occupies a volume of 200 liters, and weighs 178 kg. Will this liquid float on the
surface of an oil of specific gravity (0.8)? Provide results in SI units.
