Determine the volume of a lead ball, which is acted upon by a buoyancy force of 15000N in water.

Given:

A = 15000 Newton – buoyancy force acting on a lead ball in water;

ro = 1000 kilograms per cubic meter – the density of water;

g = 10 meters per second squared – the acceleration of gravity.

It is required to determine V (cubic meter) – the volume of the lead ball.

To determine the volume of a lead ball, you need to use the following formula:

A = ro * g * V, hence:

V = A / (ro * g) = 15000 / (1000 * 10) = 15000/10000 = 15/10 = 1.5 cubic meters.

Answer: The volume of the lead ball is 1.5 m3.
