Q

How do you find the litres needed to make an object neutral in water?

A

The weight in water divided by the weight of water per litre equals the litres needed to be neutral.

Q

An object weighs in seawater 9.7kg.

How much upward force in litres needs to be added to make the object neutral?

A

9.7kg (weight in water) ÷ 1.03kg (seawater)

= 9.41litres (displaced to be neutral)

Q

If an object in neutral in seawater, what will happen if the same object is moved into fresh water?

A

If an object is neutral in seawater, it would become negatively buoyant and sink if moved into fresh water.

Seawater weighs more than fresh water, therefore has a greater upward force on an object.

Q

An object is neutral with 15litres of air displaced in a liftbag in seawater.

How many litres need to be added to the liftbag to make it neutral in fresh water?

A

15litres (neutral in seawater) × 1.03kg (seawater)

= 15.45litres (neutal is fresh water)

Add 0.45litres to liftbag

Q

An object is neutral with 80litres of air displaced in a liftbag in fresh water.

How many litres need to be subtracted from the liftbag to make it neutral in seawater?

A

80litres (neutral in fresh water) ÷ ​1.03kg (seawater)

= 77.66litres (neutal in seawater)

Subtract 2.34litres to liftbag

Q

An object is neutral with 120litres of air displaced in a liftbag in seawater.

How many litres need to be added to the liftbag to make it neutral in fresh water?

A

120litres (neutral in seawater) × 1.03kg (seawater)

= 123.6litres (neutal is fresh water)

Add 3.6litres to liftbag

17
Q

An object is neutral with 150litres of air displaced in a liftbag in fresh water.

How many litres need to be subtracted from the liftbag to make it neutral in seawater?

A

150litres (neutral in fresh water) ÷ ​1.03kg (seawater)

= 145.63litres (neutal in seawater)

Subtract 4.37litres to liftbag

18
Q

An object is neutral with 5litres of air displaced in a liftbag in seawater.

How many litres need to be added to the liftbag to make it neutral in fresh water?

A

5litres (neutral in seawater) × 1.03kg (seawater)

= 5.15litres (neutal is fresh water)

Add 0.15litres to liftbag

19
Q

An object is neutral with 8litres of air displaced in a liftbag in fresh water.

How many litres need to be subtracted from the liftbag to make it neutral in seawater?

A

8litres (neutral in fresh water) ÷ ​1.03kg (seawater)

= 7.76litres (neutal in seawater)

Subtract 0.24litres to liftbag

20
Q

An object weighs in seawater 9.7kg.

The object needs 9.41lites added to make in neutral.

How would you make the object positively buoyant?

A

Increase the weight of what the object weighs.

9.7kg (weight in water) + 2kg (extra weight)

= 11.7kg (increased weight)

÷ 1.03kg (seawater)

= 11.35litres (displaced to be positive)
