You are provided with a hollow iron ball A of volume `15 "cm"^3` and mass 12 g and a solid iron ball B of mass 12 g. Both are placed on the surface of water contained in a large tub.
Find upthrust on each ball.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the upthrust (buoyant force) on each ball when they are placed in water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of upthrust Upthrust (or buoyant force) is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is submerged in it. According to Archimedes' principle, the upthrust is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. ### Step 2: Calculate the upthrust on hollow iron ball A 1. **Given data for ball A:** - Volume of ball A (V_A) = 15 cm³ ...
