Three liquids that will not mix are poured into a cylindrical container. The amounts and densities of the liquids are 0.50 L, 2.6 g/cm 3 ; 0.25 L, 1.0 g/cm 3 ; and 0.40 L, 0.80 g/cm3 (L= liter). Find the total force on the bottom of the container. (Ignore the contribution due to the atmosphere.) Does it matter whether the fluids mix?

The mass of the liquid is equal to its volume times the density. The force acting on the bottom of the container is equal to the sum of the forces contributed by the three liquids.
Given data:
Volume of the first liquid,

An upright brass cylinder is partially immersed in water. A copper ball is attached to the other circular area of the cylinder, if the cylinder is 20cm tall, and has a radius 11.5cm, with 80% of its volume within water. Neglecting the mass of the wire connecting to the cylinder and the ball, what is radius of the ball?
