A ball is thrown into a bathtub full of water. The ball has a mass of 0.5 kg and a diameter of 0.22 m. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 . [Useful info: volume of sphere ?= 4??^3 , where ? is the sphere radius]
Please ensure part e) is completed
(a) Calculate the weight of the ball.
(b) Calculate the buoyant force on the ball if it were completely immersed in water.
(c) Determine whether or not the ball can float on water. Explain your reasoning.
(d) If the ball floats on water, what fraction of the ball’s volume is below the water surface?
(e) What is the maximum diameter a ball with ?? = 0.5 kg can have so that is does not float on water but sinks to the ground?
