Question

Bowling balls are roughly the same size but come in a variety of weights. Given that the official radius a bowling ball should have is roughly 0.109 m0.109 m, calculate the weight of the heaviest bowling ball that will float in a fluid of density 1.000×103 kg/m31.000×103 kg/m3.

Answer 1

Let the heaviest weight bowling ball is W.

The radius of the ball r=0.109 m.

The density of the fluid =1.00010³ kg/m³.

For heaviest bowling ball float in a fluid

  

   [Here V is the volume of the ball is the density of the fluid]

The weight of the heaviest bowling ball is 53.161 N.
