Question
Chapter 14, Problem 46R
To determine
The shape of the aluminum foil so that it floats in water.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 46R
The shape of the aluminum must be like shape of hull of the ship for easy float on the water.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The floating of the object depends on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the object displaces the more weight of the water, the weight of the object then the object easily floats in the water.
The shape of the aluminum foil must be in the hull shape of the ship because in the hull shape the aluminum foil displaces more weight of the volume of the water than the weight of the aluminum foil. As the density of the aluminum shape become more, it can easily float on the water.
Conclusion:
Thus, the shape of the aluminum must be like the shape of the hull of the ship for an easy float on the water.
