The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the weight that must be added inside a hollow metallic sphere for it to float below the level of a liquid, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a hollow metallic sphere with outer diameter \(d_1\) and inner diameter \(d_2\). The density of the metal is \(\rho_1\) and the density of the liquid is \(\rho_2\). We need to find the additional weight \(W\) that must be added inside the sphere for it to float below the surface of the liquid. ### Step 2: Calculate the Volume of the Sphere The volume \(V\) of the hollow metallic sphere can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] Where \(R\) is the radius. The volume of the hollow part can be found by subtracting the inner volume from the outer volume: \[ V_{\text{sphere}} = V_{\text{outer}} - V_{\text{inner}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^3 - \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Weight of the Sphere The weight of the metallic sphere \(W_{\text{sphere}}\) can be calculated using the density of the metal: \[ W_{\text{sphere}} = V_{\text{sphere}} \cdot \rho_1 \cdot g \] Substituting the volume from Step 2: \[ W_{\text{sphere}} = \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8} - \frac{d_2^3}{8}\right)\right) \cdot \rho_1 \cdot g \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Weight of Liquid Displaced According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the liquid displaced \(W_{\text{displaced}}\) is equal to the weight of the liquid that would occupy the volume of the outer sphere: \[ W_{\text{displaced}} = V_{\text{outer}} \cdot \rho_2 \cdot g = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^3 \cdot \rho_2 \cdot g \] ### Step 5: Apply the Law of Floatation For the sphere to float, the total weight (weight of the sphere plus the added weight \(W\)) must equal the weight of the liquid displaced: \[ W_{\text{sphere}} + W = W_{\text{displaced}} \] Substituting the expressions from Steps 3 and 4: \[ \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8} - \frac{d_2^3}{8}\right) \cdot \rho_1 \cdot g\right) + W = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8}\right) \cdot \rho_2 \cdot g \] ### Step 6: Solve for the Added Weight \(W\) Rearranging the equation to solve for \(W\): \[ W = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8}\right) \cdot \rho_2 \cdot g - \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8} - \frac{d_2^3}{8}\right) \cdot \rho_1 \cdot g\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ W = \frac{4}{3} \pi g \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8} \rho_2 - \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8} - \frac{d_2^3}{8}\right) \rho_1\right) \] ### Step 7: Final Expression for \(W\) Combining terms gives: \[ W = \frac{4}{3} \pi g \left(\frac{d_1^3}{8} \rho_2 - \frac{d_1^3 \rho_1}{8} + \frac{d_2^3 \rho_1}{8}\right) \]
