1.A beach ball has a volume ofHow much force would you have to exert to hold this beach completely under water?
I learned that for an object that is completely submerged in a liquid, the density of the object is equal to the density of the liquid.
I used the formula p=m/v to get the mass of the ball. I set p as the density of water which is 1000 kg/m^3. The answer I got was 50 kg. Then I multiply it to 9.8 m/s^2 to get the buoyant force.
My answer was 490 N...
Am I correct?
