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!
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
