The relevant quantity in this case is the density - mass divided by volume. If the object has less density than water, it will displace more water than its own weight - and therefore float.

Which thing always remains constant inside a conducting sphere?

An electric charge cannot be established or maintained inside a conductive container. This is the basis of the Faraday Cage, used to isolate a working space from electric fields.


What does the Earth look like from a distance?

From a distance, the Earth appears as a blue and white sphere with swirling clouds and patches of land and water. It is a beautiful and fragile planet floating in the vastness of space.


What will be centre of gravity of sphere full of water and it is leaking?

The center of gravity of a sphere full of water that is leaking will gradually shift as the water leaks out. Initially, the center of gravity will be at the geometric center of the sphere. However, as water leaks out, the center of gravity will move towards the direction of the leak due to the changing distribution of mass within the sphere. The final position of the center of gravity will depend on the rate of leakage and the amount of water remaining in the sphere.


Why in coulomb's law for charges force is inversely proportional to square of distance between charges?

Imagine a light bulb in the center of a sphere. It emits a fixed quantity of light. That's how much light will reach the sphere. The concentration of light per unit of area, on the sphere, will depend upon how large the sphere is. And the area of a sphere is proportional to the square of the radius of the sphere. So the intensity of the light will be inversely proportional to the square of the distance which it has to travel. It is effectively illuminating a larger sphere (even if there is no actual sphere, the principle remains the same).


How do you calculate the water displacement of a sphere?

The water displacement of a sphere can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the sphere. The volume of water displaced by the sphere is equal to the volume of the sphere when it is submerged in water.

What shape has no faces and no sides?

The sphere. Unlike the circle, the sphere is a sort of "3 Dimensional" version of the circle. A circle, being a 2-D round shape, has a face... whereas brought into 3-D, the sphere is free of all "faces".
