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

Density helps us predict whether something will float. Density is super important to consider when building things like ships and submarines. The experiment in the video examines the water density by comparing a glass of water containing sugar with a simple glass of water
