Buoyancy is due to pressure forces which act perpendicular to the sphere's surface, and thus don't create any torque around it's center of mass.kevin_tee said:
Yes, it is correct that a spherical buoy does not rotate. This is because a buoy is designed to float on water and remain in a fixed position, so it does not need to rotate.
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object when it is submerged in a fluid, such as water. In the case of a spherical buoy, the buoyancy force acts in a vertical direction, keeping the buoy in a fixed position and preventing it from rotating.
No, a spherical buoy will still not rotate even if it is not perfectly spherical. As long as the buoy is round and symmetrical, the buoyancy force will still act in a vertical direction and prevent rotation.
The buoyancy of a spherical buoy is affected by several factors, including its shape, size, and the density of the fluid it is submerged in. The buoyancy force will increase with the volume of the buoy and decrease with the density of the fluid.
No, a spherical buoy will not rotate if it is not fully submerged in a fluid. The buoyancy force acts on the entire submerged portion of the buoy, so if it is not fully submerged, there will be no net torque to cause rotation.
