A floating ball has a density (P») of 600 kg/m' and has a
radius (R) of 0.055 m. The equation that
gives the depth (x) to which the ball is submerged under water
with a density (Pw) of 1000 kg/m
is given by:4
4/3*pi*R^3*pb*g=pi*x^2(R_x/3)*Pw*g
where the gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s.
R
a) Use the false-position method to find the depth x to
which the ball is submerged under water within an
interval [0, 0.1]? Conduct three iterations only and
find
the absolute relative approximate error at the end of
each iteration?
Water
Note: Summarize your results in one table and show one
complete sample of calculations for one
iteration only.
b) If you would change the previous method to an open domain
method to find the depth x; what
method would you select? Explain briefly (in English and
without calculations), what would
you do and how would you do the computations.
