Calculate the buoyant force on 10,000 metric tons of solid steel completely submerged in water and compare this with the steel's weight. State if the steel will remain submerged in water. Take the density of steel as 7.8 x 10^3 kg/m^3.

Step 1
We need to calculate the buoyant force acting on 10,000 metric tons of solid steel completely submerged in water and compare this force with the weight of the steel. We are given the density of steel (7.8 x 10^3 kg/m^3) and need to determine if the steel will Show moreā¦

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on 10,000 metric tons (1.00Ć10^7 kg) of solid steel completely submerged in water, and compare this with the steel's weight. (b) What is the maximum buoyant force that water could exert on this same steel if it were shaped into a boat that could displace 1.00Ć10^5 m^3 of water?

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on 15,000 metric tons of solid steel (1.00 x 10 ^ 7 kg) completely submerged in water and compare this with the weight of the steel. (b) what is the maximum buoyant force that water could exert on this same steel if it were in the shape of a boat that could displace 1.75 x 10 ^ 5 m3 of water
