A block of wood with length = 2.5 m, width = 0.5 m and height = 0.4 m. The density of water

is 1000 kg/m3. If the block is placed in the water, what is the buoyant force ?



A ship weighing 46 328 tons is lowered into water. What weight of water would it 

displace?


An astronaut sent on a mission to a new planet where the gravitational field strength near the surface is 3.9 N/kg. Using actual mass, find the weight and mass of the astronaut (a) on earth (b) on the new planet and (c) in space.


An aluminum cylinder has a volume of 60ml. Calculate the buoyant force that will be exerted on the cylinder when it is interested in

A. Water

B. Alcohol (density=0.78g/ml)


A balloon has a total volume of 6,000 cm3

and a mass of 3.5 g. Find the buoyant force of the 

air on it, in dyne unit. Note that 1 dyne = 1 g.cm/s2

(Density of air = 0.00129 g/cm3)

Astronauts in training are subjected to extreme acceleration forces by the centripetal forces in a giant centrifuge. The radius of the centrifuge is approximately 5 m.




a) Calculate the approximate centripetal force on an astronaut of mass 80 kg if the centrifuge rotates once every 2 s.




b) Approximately how many times greater than the astronauts weight is this force?
