A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of unifor

In summary, when the small solid sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of uniform density:1. The water level will rise (R) if the new sphere has a greater radius (R) than the original sphere, but the same density (ρ).2. The water level will fall (F) if the new sphere has a smaller radius (R) than the original sphere, but the same density (ρ).3. The water level will fall (F) if the new sphere has the same radius (R) as the original sphere, but a lower density (ρ).4. The water level will remain unchanged (U) if the new sphere has a lower density (ρ) than the original sphere, but the same mass

Homework Statement


A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of uniform density ρ0 is placed in a large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water in the dish is L. Given the information below, determine the possible effects on the water level L, (R-Rises, F-Falls, U-Unchanged), when that sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of uniform density.

for 3.i think it will rise because the force by water is ρ(of water) x volume x g(acc. due to gravity).if ρ is less than ρ(water)

Be careful with 6. What are all the possible consequences of increased density?
 

FAQ: A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of unifor

What is the formula for finding the volume of a small solid sphere?

The formula for finding the volume of a small solid sphere is V = (4/3)πR3, where R is the radius of the sphere.

How does the mass of a small solid sphere affect its volume?

The mass of a small solid sphere has no direct effect on its volume. The volume is solely determined by the radius of the sphere.

Can the radius of a small solid sphere be negative?

No, the radius of a sphere cannot be negative. It is a measure of the distance from the center of the sphere to its surface, and therefore must be a positive value.

How does the density of a small solid sphere affect its mass?

The density of a small solid sphere is directly proportional to its mass. This means that as the density increases, so does the mass of the sphere.

Can a small solid sphere have a non-uniform mass distribution?

Yes, a small solid sphere can have a non-uniform mass distribution. This means that the mass is not evenly distributed throughout the sphere, but is instead concentrated in certain areas. This can affect the sphere's overall properties, such as its moment of inertia.
