Density, Specific Gravity, and Viscosity - Physics

We are given the mass of the baseball outside of the water. Using the weight equation with the gravitational constant being and the mass being , the weight of the baseball outside of the water is 4.905 N. (Be careful and convert the mass of the baseball from grams to kilograms since we are using SI units).

The buoyancy force is the difference of the weight of the baseball when it is in the air and when it is in the water. So subtract the two differences:

Now we use the buoyancy equation:

where is the buoyancy force, is the density of water, is the volume of the baseball, and is the gravitational constant. Plug in the known variables and solve for the volume.

and we get

The equation for the buoyant force is . The gravitational force is constant. In order for the coconut to float, the buoyant force must be greater than the gravitational force. If the gravitational force is greater than the buoyant force, then the object will sink.
