An anchor with a density of 700 lb/ft3 tied to a rope is submerged in water (but is not touching the bottom). It has a volume of 2.8 ft3. What is the buoyancy force on that object?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Density of anchor [tex]\rho _a=700\ lb/ft^3[/tex]

Volume of anchor [tex]V=2.8\ ft^3[/tex]

Density of water [tex]\rho _w=62.4\ lb\ft^3[/tex]

Buoyancy force on submerged object is given by

[tex]F_B=\rho _W\times V\times g[/tex]

[tex]F_B=62.4\times 2.8\times 32.2=5625.98\approx 5626\ approx lbf[/tex]
