A large suitcase full of gold sits at the bottom of a lake. A team of treasure hunters uses a crane to recover the suitcase and finds that a force of 1.1 105 N is required to lift the suitcase to the surface. What is the volume of the suitcase?
Added by Josefina C.
Step 1
We need to find the volume of a suitcase full of gold that is submerged in a lake. The force required to lift the suitcase to the surface is given as 1.1 x 10^5 N (Newton). We assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 (a standard value) and the acceleration due Show moreā¦

A large suitcase full of gold sits at the bottom of a lake. A team of treasure hunters uses a crane to recover the suitcase and finds that a force of $3.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{N}$ is required to lift the suitcase to the surface. What is the volume of the suitcase?

Buoyancy and Archimedesās Principle
A 75.0 -kg rock lies at the bottom of a pond. Its volume is $3.10 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$. How much force is needed to lift the rock?
Buoyancy
A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.15 m and is filled with helium. How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the skin and structure of the balloon have a mass of 930 kg? Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself.
