Question

A wooden statue is completely submerged in Lake Michigan, but does not float to the surface due to a cable mooring the statue to the floor of the lake. The weight of the statue out of the water is W, the tension in the cable is T, and the buoyant force acting on the statue is D. The magnitude of B is the magnitude of W. CANNOT BE DETERMINED greater than less than equal to Defining upward as positive, the net force acting on the statue (buoyant + gravitational + tension) is zero. CANNOT BE DETERMINED greater than less than equal to

Explanation / Answer

5) B)greater than

Here, Tension and gravity acts downward direction. Only Buoynat force acts upward.

so, B = W + T

clearly B > W

6) D) equal to zero

Since The box is in equilibrium the net force acting on the wooden box must be zeo.
