SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving buoyancy in a cylinder using the equations p=ρgh+p0 and F=ρVg. Participants emphasize the importance of presenting problems and solutions in clear text rather than scribbles, suggesting the use of TeX for typesetting equations. The need for clarity in reasoning and explanation is highlighted, particularly for part c of the problem, which remains unclear to other forum members. Overall, the discussion underscores the necessity of proper formatting and clear communication in technical problem-solving.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of buoyancy principles in fluid mechanics
  • Familiarity with the equations of hydrostatics, specifically p=ρgh and F=ρVg
  • Basic knowledge of TeX typesetting for mathematical expressions
  • Experience in presenting technical problems and solutions clearly
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of buoyancy equations in various fluid scenarios
  • Learn how to use TeX for typesetting complex mathematical equations
  • Explore best practices for presenting technical problems in online forums
  • Study the implications of length differences in buoyancy calculations
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or engineering, educators teaching fluid mechanics, and anyone involved in technical problem-solving and communication in online forums.

Member warned that work should be posted as text, not as illegible photos

The Attempt at a Solution


Obviously wrong scribble except num 1
sorry for the s**ty handwriting look at #7

edit: fixed the problems with the photo. look at the links, the forum software cropped the quality.

The problem statement is illegible. It is good form in these forums to present the problem in text form and use images for supporting drawings and such. Similarly, it is good form to put your answer in text form rather than in scribbles. Superscripts, subscripts and special symbols (the ∑ icon above the editting pane) are available to make the text form prettier. You can even use TeX to typeset your equations, e.g. ##F=\rho g v##

fixed image problem. I'll try that later on.

Your answers to a and b look fine, but I cannot follow your working in c. When you post a typed version of that, please explain your reasoning.

well c is my problem to me. should i take account the length difference only or is there sth more?

Ok, but I cannot decipher your working. Please repost as typed equations, with some explanation of your reasoning.
 
Yes, please repost as typed equations.
