Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A hollow metal sphere and a solid metal sphere of the same volume are both submerged in water. Which will experience a greater buoyant force, and why?
💡 Hint: Focus on the volume they displace rather than their individual weights.
You have two tanks: one filled with saltwater and the other with freshwater. You drop an object that floats in freshwater into both tanks. Describe which tank would provide a greater buoyant force and why.
💡 Hint: Remember, denser fluids provide more lift!
