The answer will depend on what the sphere is made of and where it is weighed.

But regardless of the substance and the planet it's on, you can always

be sure that it weighs

(4/3) x (pi) x (Radius)3 x (density of the substance) x (local acceleration of gravity).

How does the sphere's buoyant force relate to its weight when it floats?

When a sphere floats, its weight is equal to the buoyant force acting on it. This is because the sphere reaches an equilibrium where the upward buoyant force from the fluid equals the downward force of gravity acting on the sphere.


What is reduction in weight of steel sphere when it is in water?

About 14% less


What is the weight in pounds of water in a sphere having a diameter of 1 yard?

The sphere's volume is 0.5236 cubic yards. This volume contains 105.8 gallons of water. Since one gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds, the total weight would be about 882.4 pounds.


Why does a sphere made of steal float when put in water?

A steel sphere will float in water if its density is less than that of water. This means the weight of the sphere pushing down is less than the weight of the water it displaces, creating a buoyant force that keeps it afloat.


Is a sphere of empty vacuum more buoyant in water than an equal size sphere of air?

When fully submerged on earth, yes. The net buoyancy force will be equal to the weight of the water displaced minus the weight of the object doing the displacing. Because the volume of water displaced by the water will be the same, and presumably have the same weight when the objects are both fully submerged, and the sphere of empty vacuum weighs less than the sphere of air, there will be a greater net upward buoyancy force on each object on earth.


How do you find the radius of a sphere based on the weight in pounds?

You need to know if the sphere is solid or hollow. You also need the "density" in terms of pounds weight per unit volume. Then Volume = Mass/Density And Radius = cuberoot[3*Vol/(4*pi)]


What is the list of colors that end with sphere?

The list of colours that end with sphere (the same with geometric shapes, animal shapes, plant shapes, balloons, etc.) are: Red sphere Black sphere Blue sphere Yellow sphere Pink sphere Silver sphere Green sphere Purple sphere Orange sphere Crimson sphere Navy sphere White sphere Gold sphere Teal sphere Brown sphere Indigo sphere Saffron sphere Amethyst sphere Vermilion sphere Chartreuse sphere Magenta sphere Viridian sphere Burgundy sphere Powder blue sphere Scarlet sphere Cyan sphere Azure sphere Lavender sphere Gray sphere Beige sphere Cerulean sphere Slate sphere Cobalt sphere Gunmetal sphere Copper sphere Bronze sphere Khaki sphere Citrine sphere Maroon sphere Olive sphere Peach sphere Cream sphere Sangria sphere Plum sphere Emerald sphere Cerise sphere Mauve sphere Moccasin sphere Aquamarine sphere Pearl sphere Turquoise sphere Platinum sphere Tan sphere Bittersweet sphere Periwinkle sphere Sapphire sphere Fuchsia sphere Dark green sphere Mahogany sphere Sea green sphere Claret sphere Lime sphere Amber sphere Ecru sphere Taupe sphere Tawny sphere Lilac sphere Ochre sphere Sepia sphere Celadon sphere Rust sphere Orchid sphere Ash gray sphere Steel blue sphere Sky blue sphere Burnt orange sphere Brick red sphere Caramel sphere Marigold sphere Burnt sienna sphere Verdigris sphere Indochine sphere Carmine sphere Linen sphere Goldenrod sphere Butterscotch sphere Dark gray sphere Harlequin green sphere Amaranth sphere Ultramarine sphere Royal blue sphere Garnet sphere Ebony sphere Ivory sphere Thistle sphere Jade green sphere Auburn sphere Sienna sphere Umber sphere Cadet blue sphere Dark brown sphere Orange peel sphere Salmon sphere Wisteria sphere Persimmon sphere Apricot sphere Brass sphere Ruby sphere Mint sphere Forest green sphere Aubergine sphere Hazel sphere Topaz sphere Bisque sphere Spring green sphere Rainbow sphere


How do you calculate the density of lead in a sphere?

The density of lead is well known; you can look it up in any reference book on chemistry, or on the Internet. It is 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, according to Wikipedia. But if you have a sphere that is only part lead, you can get the density of the sphere by weighing it, and dividing the weight by its volume. The volume of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x r ^ 3, where r is the radius of the sphere.


Why an empty bowl remains floating whereas a solid metalic sphere sinks whose weight is same as that of bowl?

The empty bowl has air trapped inside it, creating buoyant force that helps it float. The solid metallic sphere displaces water, causing an upward force that is less than the weight of the sphere, causing it to sink despite having the same weight as the bowl.


What will be our Weight at center of earth if it was hollow sphere?

Theoretically, Zero. The gravitational pull of the earth on you (which is the definition of weight), whether the earth is solid or hollow, is the same in all directions because it is spherically symmetrical. These forces cancel each other out, leaving you with zero net weight. In real life, the earth is not a perfect sphere, but this model describes the situation adequately.
