A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.500 m
Question:
A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.500 m and a face area of 4.00 m2 on top and bottom, and its density is 0.400 times that of fresh water. It is initially held fully submerged in fresh water, with its top face at the water surface. Then it is allowed to ascend gradually until it begins to float. How much work does the buoyant force do on the device during the ascent?
Step by Step Answer:
Work is the integral of the force over distance see Eq 732 and referring to the eq...View the full answer
