Question:
Consider a sphere of radius R, which is completely submerged in water.
(a) Calculate the buoyant force on it by integrating the pressure over the sphere's surface.
(b) Now convert this surface integral to volume integral using appropriate laws and then verify your calculation from above.
(c) Consider a body of arbitrary shape that is immersed in water. How would you calculate buoyant force? Archimedes' principle is not allowed for solving this problem.
