Which powers works on bead on a string?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a bead on a metal wire that is stationary relative to the wire while the wire itself moves in a circular motion at a 60-degree slope. Participants clarify that the term "powers" likely refers to forces acting on the bead. There is a need for the original poster to provide more context and details, such as the orientation of the slope and their own thought process regarding the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of adhering to guidelines for effective assistance. Overall, the focus remains on understanding the forces at play in this specific physical scenario.

Hello Hadar, :welcome:

You need to read the guidelines -- we can't help unless you also fill in 2 and 3 of the template ...

Not moving relative to the wire, right?

metal string
I assume you mean a (stiff) wire. A string would flop down.
Hadar said:
slope of 60 degrees.
To the horizontal or to the vertical?

You mean forces, right?

And as BvU notes, you need to show some attempt/thoughts of your own.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
