Question

The hollow, spherical glass shell shown in Figure 15–38 has an inner radius R and an outer radius 1.2R. The density of the glass is \(\rho_{g}\). What fraction of the shell is submerged when it floats in a liquid of density \(\rho=1.5 \rho_{g}\)? (Assume the interior of the shell is a vacuum.)

Solution

Step 1 of 3

We are required to calculate the fraction of submerged shell.

Given

Inner radius of the spherical glass shell is 

Outer radius of the spherical glass shell is,

The density of the spherical glass shell is,

When it floats,
