. A ball that can float on water has mass 5.00 kg and volume 2.50 x 10-2 m3 . What is the magnitude of the downward force that must be applied to the ball to hold it motionless and completely submerged in freshwater of density 1.00 x 103 kg/m3

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
