Using the dimensions in Question 96, which answer below is closest to the buoyant force that the water exerts on Musimu (without his sled or his return balloon)? Assume that the density of water is 1000 $kg / m^{3}$ $\begin{array}{ll}{\text { (a) } 200 \mathrm{N}} & {\text { (b) } 400 \mathrm{N}} & {\text { (c) } 700 \mathrm{N}} \\ {\text { (d) } 1000 \mathrm{N}} & {\text { (e) } 2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N}}\end{array}$

Key Concepts

Buoyant Force Calculation

The buoyant force can be calculated by multiplying the density of the fluid by the gravitational acceleration and the volume of fluid displaced. This formula is derived from Archimedes' Principle and is used to quantify the upward force acting on the submerged object.

Volume Displacement

Volume displacement refers to the amount of fluid that is pushed aside by an object when it is immersed. Calculating the displaced volume is crucial for determining the weight of the fluid displaced, which in turn helps in computing the buoyant force on the object.

Archimedes' Principle

This principle states that the buoyant force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. It is fundamental for calculating the buoyant force in problems involving objects submerged in liquids.

Density

Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. In the context of buoyancy, knowing the density of the fluid ensures that the weight of the displaced fluid can be calculated, which directly relates to the buoyant force according to Archimedes' Principle.
