Question: problem 2 a solid spherical steel ball can float on...

Question details

Problem 2: A solid spherical steel ball can float on water due to surface tension effect. Calculate the maximum diameter of the ball that would float on water at 25°C. (Assume that the ball is exactly submerged to its center in the liquid). Surface tension of water at 25°C is 72 mN/m and density of water is 997kg/m. Specific gravity of steel is 7.7. Consider a contact angle of 60 for water with steel
