A hollow sphere of diameter 3 in. is filled with air at 200 atm, 60°F. The shell of the sphere has a mass of 0.2 lbm and is of negligible thickness. If the sphere is submerged in water at 60° F, determine the magnitude of the net vertical force, in lbf. Is the force acting upward or downward? Assume the air can be modeled as in ideal gas.

Answer:

[tex]f_{net} = 0.1853 lbf[/tex] {upward}

Explanation:

Byoncy force is given as

[tex]fb =  \gamma_{water} v_{ball}[/tex]

[tex]fb = \gamma_{water} \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3[/tex]

At 60 degree F [tex]\gamma_{water} = 62.37 lb/ft^3[/tex]

R is 1.5 inch = 1.5/12 ft

so solving for Fs  we get

fb = 0.5102 lb

By using  ideal gas equation calculate mass of air in sphere

[tex]m = \frac{pV}{R_{air}T}[/tex]

p = 200 atm = 2939.19 psi

[tex]R_{air} = 0.3704 psi ft^3 /lbm -R[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2939.19 psi a\times [\frac{4}{3} \pi [\frac{1.5}{12}]^2]}{0.3704 \times (90+459.67}[/tex]

m = 0.1249 lbm

total weight of air and ball os

wa +wb = g(ma+mb)

             [tex]= 32.174 (0.1249+0.2)\times \frac{1 lbf}{32.174\ lbm ft/s^2}[/tex]

wa+wb = 0.3249 lbf

net foce on the ball is

[tex]f_{net} = fb - (wa+wb)[/tex]

[tex]f_{net} = 0.5102 - 0.249[/tex]

[tex]f_{net} = 0.1853 lbf[/tex]
