A plastic ball has mass M. It floats in water with (1/5)th of its volume under the water line. What downward force must be applied to the ball to submerge it and hold it at rest below the surface of the water

F = -4/5 W

Explanation:

We will do this exercise in parts, let's start with the data, The ball must be in balance

            B -W = 0

             B = mg                    (1)

where the thrust is given by Archimedes' principle

            B = ρ g V_liquid

In the problem we are told that the volume of the submerged body is 1/5 of the volume of the body, let's use the subscript 2 for the ball and the subscript 1 for the liquid

            V₁ = V₂

if we use the concept of density for the body

            ρ₂ = m / V₂

            m = ρ₂ V₂

We can see that mass and volume are directly proportional, so we can use a rule of three to find the submerged mass. If mass M is in volume V₂ what mass is there in volume V₂ /5

             m₂ =

             m₂ = M / 5

we substitute in equation 1

             B = M / 5 g

This is the thrust that is an upward vertical force, therefore to submerge the whole ball we must apply a downward vertical force equal to the rest of the weight, the equilibrium condition in this case is

             B -W - F = 0

             F = B -W

             F = g - M g

             F = -4/5 Mg

             F = -4/5 W

The negative sign indicates that the force is vertical down

emily ruth's annual premium is $1058.50

step-by-step explanation:

emily ruth is a female of 27 years age purchasing 20 year endowment insurance with face value $25000.

from the given table,

for females, the age of a male 3 years younger should be used.

so, we have to check for 24 year male for 20 year endowment.

it is 42.34 for every $1000 face value.

for a face value of $25000,

it is 25 * 42.34 = $1058.50

∴ emily ruth's annual premium is $1058.50

if they have a finite resultant
