Question

Shown below are six objects that have different masses and volumes. These blocks are suspended at two different depths in water by being hung by a string from a supporting tool.

A) M=60g; V=10cm^3

B)M=60g; V=40cm^3

C)M=80g; V=10cm^3

D)M=80g; V=40cm^3

E)M=60g; V=40cm^3

F)M=60g; V=10cm^3

Rank these situations greatest force to least force, on the basis of buoyant force on the blocks by the water.

1___2___3___4___5___6___

Or, all of the buoyant forces on the block by the water equal____?

Or, there are no buoyant forces on the blocks by the water____?

Or, is it not possible to determine the buoyant forces on the blocks by water____?

Explain reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

Assuming the Blocks are fully Immeresed in Water !

The different depths wont make any Difference on the Buoyant Force Applied.

The Formula for Buoyant Force is Density*g*Volume. Density if the Fluid (Water = 1 g/cm^3)

Different Buoyant Forces-->

A 100 N

B 400 N

C 100 N

D 400 N

E 400 N

F 100 N

Mass of the Block Wont Make any Difference .

The Correct Order is (B=D=E)>(A=C=F)
