Please help,Can you also include free-body diagram, please?
Thank you Read "Diamond Smugglers" problem and come up with a solution. Diamond smugglers A customs inspector was suspecting that some of the 12 plastic spheres, which were shipped out of the country, had something in them. Each sphere weighted the same and had hard walls everywhere. Inspector thought that it was possible to hide something inside each sphere. He was correct, and was able to use a simple experiment in determining which sphere had diamonds inside. How did he do it?
Explanation / Answer
Q1.
Ans- He put the spheres into water. Since density of plastic is 0.92 gram per cubic centimeter which is less then water (1g/cm^3) so plastic spheres will float on the water surface. and density of diamond is 3.15g/cm^3 which is greater than water, so spheres with diamond inside will sink into the water.
thus, inspector could determine which sphere has diamond.
