BUOYANCY
Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float. Archimede's Principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the submerged object. The buoyant force can be computed by:
buoyant force = (object volume) times (specific gravity of the fluid)
If the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the weight of the object then it will float, otherwise it will sink.
Write a program that inputs the weight (in pounds) and radius (in feet) of a sphere and outputs whether the sphere will sink or float in water. Use 62.4 lb/cubic foot as the specific weight of water. The volume of a sphere is computed by (4/3)π times the radius cubed.
INPUT and PROMPTS. The program uses this prompt ""Input weight of the sphere in pounds." for the first number it reads in, the weight of the sphere. The program uses this prompt "Input radius of the sphere in feet." for the second number it reads in, the radius of the sphere. Do not print out these numbers as they are read in
OUTPUT. The program either prints out "The sphere will float in water." or "The sphere will sink in water.".

According to Max Weber's definition of a state/sovereign i.e. "Something is a state/sovereignty if and insofar as its administrative staff successfully upholds a claim on the monopoly of the legitimate use of violence in the enforcement of its order" Would you argue that the United Nations is considered a state? what aspects of the UN would you argue don't fit Weber's framework and which do?

Why has the United Nations been unable to become a world government? What aspects of its organization and form make it impossible/difficult? What aspects of it seem like a world government? What would have to change in its organization or the way the world likes at it to make it a world government? What stops it, if anything, from making those changes?
