The problem involves determining the density of a liquid in which a sphere is neutrally buoyant. The sphere has a specified diameter and mass, and the discussion centers around the application of buoyancy principles and volume calculations.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants expressing frustration over the inability to identify the error in the calculations. Some guidance has been offered to double-check the volume formula, indicating a potential area for clarification.
Participants are working under the constraints of a homework assignment, which may limit the information they can share or the methods they can use. There is an emphasis on understanding the correct application of formulas related to buoyancy and density.
Double-check that volume formula.talaroue said:B=mg
V*density*g=mg
denisty=M/V
denisty= .1371 kg/(4/3*PI*r^2) because its a sphere
