Perform the same computation as in Prob. 5.22, but for the frustrum of a cone as depicted
Question:
Perform the same computation as in Prob. 5.22, but for the frustrum of a cone as depicted in Fig. P5.23. Employ the following values for your computation: r1 = 0.5 m, r2 = 1 m, h = 1 m, ρf = frustrum density = 200 kg/m3, and ρw = water density = 1,000 kg/m3.
Data From Problem 5.22
According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyancy force is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by the submerged portion of the object. For the sphere depicted in Fig. P5.22, use bisection to determine the height, h, of the portion that is above water. Employ the following values for your computation: r = 1 m, ρs = density of sphere = 200 kg/m3, and ρw = density of water = 1,000 kg/m3. Note that the volume of the above-water portion of the sphere can be computed with
