Step 1
The buoyant force is calculated by the formula: F = V * d * g, where V is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object, d is the density of the fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. 1) When the iron ball is placed in water: The density of water is Show more…

Determine the unbalanced force acting on an iron ball $\left(r=1.5 \mathrm{~cm}, \rho=7.8 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$ when just released while totally immersed in $(a)$ water and $(b)$ mercury $\left(\rho=13.6 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right) .$ What will be the initial acceleration of the ball in each case?
A ball floats in a bathtub of water, p = 1.0 g/cm^3. The ball has a mass of 0.52 kg and a radius of 18.5 cm. What is the buoyant force acting on the ball? The free fall acceleration is g = 9.81 m/s^2.

You pull a solid iron ball with a density of 7.86 g/cm³ and a radius of 1.40 cm upward through a fluid at a constant speed of 7.00 cm/s. The fluid exerts a drag force that is directly proportional to speed, and the proportionality constant is 0.950 kg/s. What is the magnitude of the force (in N) you exert on the ball? (You may ignore the buoyant force.) What If? By what percentage would the upward force exerted on the iron ball have to be increased for the speed of the ball in the fluid to increase to quadruple its original value? Can you use your result from part (a) to calculate a new force, given the new speed? Does the value of b or the mass change? How is a percent increase calculated?
