A ball is held submerged in a bucket of water by a string attached to the bucket's bottom. Water density is 1000 kg/m^3. The ball has a mass of 0.5 kg and a volume of 0.006 m^3. What is the buoyant force on the ball? What is the tension force on the ball?

Step 1
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This can be calculated using Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The weight of the fluid displaced is Show moreā¦
