An undersea research chamber is spherical with an external diameter of 3.50 mm . The mass of the chamber, when occupied, is 21700 kg. It is anchored to the sea bottom by a cable. Find the followings Required:
a. The buoyant force on the chamber.
b. The tension in the cable?

a. The buoyant force on the chamber is 220029.6 N

b. The tension in the cable is 7369.6 N

Explanation:

The diameter of the sphere cannot be in millimeter (mm), if the chamber must occupy a big mass as 21700kg

Given;

diameter of the sphere, d = 3.50 m

radius of the sphere, r = 1.75 mm = 1.75 m

mass of the chamber, m = 21700 kg

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

(a)

Buoyant force is the weight of water displaced, which is calculated as;

Fb = ρvg

where;

v is the volume of sphere, calculated as;

Fb = 1000 x 22.452 x 9.8

Fb = 220029.6 N

(b)

The tension in the cable will be calculated as;

T = Fb - mg

T = 220029.6 N - (21700 x 9.8)

T =  220029.6 N - 212660 N

T = 7369.6 N
