Suppose you have a coffee mug with a circular cross section and vertical sides (uniform radius). What
is its inside radius if it holds 385 g of coffee when filled to a depth of 7.5 cm? Assume coffee has the
same density as water of 1000 kg/m³.
Think & Prepare
1. What is the shape of the coffee mug? How would you calculate the volume of the coffee mug?
r=
cm
How do you calculate density without volume? In other words, what is the volume?
Please answer parts B, C and D!
A beachball has a diameter of 24 cm and weighs about 6N.
A-What is the volume of the beachball? Then, use this number to calculate the beachball’s average density in kg m-3.
B-What is the volume of water displaced by the beachball if it is in the pool?
C- Now, using a rope, you tie the beachball to the bottom of the pool so only half of the ball is submerged. What would the diagram look like?
D- What is the buoyant force of the tethered beachball? What is the tension on the rope?
