Question
1. For the three force vectors indicated in the free body diagram (which is for an object in equilibrium, fully submerged in water, and suspended by a string):
(a) Can you tell which one of those three forces should be the strongest? If so, state which one should be strongest, and how you know. If it is impossible, without further information, to choose between two or three of these forces, state that, and explain why.
Would this be the Tension force??
(b) Can you tell which one of those three forces should be the weakest? If so, state which one should be weakest, and how you know. If it is impossible, without further information, to choose between two or three of these forces, state that, and explain why.
Would the buoyant force be the weakest??
2. Why is the volume of the floating object (i.e. the measurement method 3A) not useful to us in our analysis in Part II?
Explanation / Answer
A) mg is strongest because mg is opposite to both tension and bouyent force. mg=Fb+T.
B) We cannot tell which force is the weakest because given variables are not enough. It is either bouyent force or tension.
2) Knowing the volume would not be enough for this question.
