Explanation Free-body diagram: The buoyant force (B) exerted on the sphere is equal to sum of the tension (T) in the string and weight (mg) of the sphere, when m is the mass of the sphere. Given: The tension in the string is one-third the weight of the sphere, T = 1 3 m g . Formula used From second law of motion: ∑ F = m a Calculations B = T + m g B = 1 3 m g + m g B = 4 3 m g ..... ( 1 ) If the density of the sphere is ρ and that of the liquid is ρ w

Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem …
