I have a couple of questions on archimedes' principle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the mass, weight, and buoyant force related to a balloon filled with 1 liter of water. The mass of the liter of water is 1000 grams, and its weight is calculated using the equation w = m*g, resulting in 9,800 N. The weight of the water displaced by the balloon is also 9,800 N, confirming Archimedes' principle. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is equal to the weight of the displaced water, which is again 9,800 N. The calculations and principles discussed align with fundamental physics concepts.

the question is:
consider that a balloon filled with 1 liter of water (1000 cm^3) in equilibrium in a container of water,
what is the mass of the liter of water?
what is the weight of the 1 liter of water?
what is the weight of water displaced by the balloon ?
what is the bouyant force on the balloon?

Are there any equations i can use for these four questions. i really don't understand how to do this without any equations...

Thank you!

Welcome to PF.

There is w = m*g

Then there's Archimedes' principle.

So how much water is displaced by 1 liter of water?

Thank you. so here is what i came up with...
a. 1000 g
b. 9,800 N
c. 9,800 N
d. 9,800 N

Any make sense?
 
Eureka.
 
okay thank you so much!
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
