Estimate the buoyant force of 1-mm-diameter water vapor bubbles in sea water at 100C. Sea water can be assumed to have a density 10% more than pure water, and the surface tension of water can be assumed to be 65 mN/m.

What will be an ideal response?


A buoyant force acting on a submerged body has a volume V is the product of the volume with the specific weight of the surrounding fluid.
