Seawater has a density of 1030 kg/m3. You are designing a deep sea submersible that has a volume of 17 m3 and is shaped like a sphere. If the walls of the submersible are made out of stainless steel with a density of 7700 kg/m3 , how thick should the walls be to create a neutrally buoyant submersible?
Buoyance is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. The upward buoyant force is calculated via the following equation: Fp = PfgV V is the volume of displaced fluid (object), pf is the density of the fluid, and F, is the buoyant force. 1) Calculate the buoyant force on 10 tons of solid steel completely submerged in water and compare this with the steel's weight with the density of 7800 kg/m³. (b) What is the maximum buoyant force that water could exert on this same steel if it were shaped into a boat that could displace 12m3 of water?

Kayleigh loves fishing with her grandpa Kevin. Kayleigh was the first one to catch a fish and found out that it weighs 90 Newtons out of the river. When the fish was completely immersed in the river water, the tension of the fishing rod line was 55 N. Her grandpa Kevin proceeded to fish in the muddy part of the river and caught an almost identically sized fish. Kevin measured the tension of his rod line to be 30 N. What is the density of the water in the muddy part of the river? Remember that the density of water is 997 kg/m³
