(a) Explanation Given info: The diameter of the steel sphere is 4.75 ft and the depth of the sphere in the ocean is 3028 ft . When an object is completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the magnitude of the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The expression for the buoyant force is, F b = ρ V g (1) Here, ρ is the density of the water. g is the acceleration due to gravity. V is the volume of the container (b) To determine To write: The best explanation from the given statements.
