I have a couple of questions on archimedes' principle

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around Archimedes' principle and its application to a balloon filled with 1 liter of water in equilibrium within a container of water. Participants are exploring concepts related to mass, weight, buoyant force, and water displacement.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the relationship between mass and weight using the equation w = m*g. Questions are raised about the amount of water displaced by the balloon and the calculations for mass and buoyant force.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided guidance on relevant equations and principles, while others have attempted to calculate values related to the problem. There is an ongoing exploration of the implications of the calculations presented.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the constraints of understanding the principles without explicit equations or methods provided, leading to questions about assumptions and interpretations of the problem.

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 buoyant 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!
