Hey!
Been doi some coursework from a text but can't seem to find any solutions so don't know if I am even remotely close to the right answer.
Q. A steel ball can float on water due to the surface tension effect.
a) Determine the maximum diameter of a steel ball that would float on water at 20 degrees.
b) What would be the maximum diameter for an aluminium ball.
Assume the densities of steel and aluminium to be 7800 kg/m^3 amd 2700 kg/m^3 respectively
I would appreciate working if possible. Thanks
