A smooth spherical anchor buoy (radius R = 0.96 m) is attached to the seabed by an inelastic chain (length L = 2.4 m). Half of the buoy is submerged in water when the sea is calm (i.e., the velocity of sea water V = 0), as shown in Fig. (a) below. When the sea water flows steadily, the buoy will move away from the anchor point and sink into the water. Assume that the weight of the anchor buoy and the chain can be neglected. If the anchor buoy is just fully submerged, as shown in Fig. (b), what is the velocity of the water flow? Given: The drag coefficient of a smooth sphere Ca=0.12, and the density of sea water is p= 1026 kg/m”. 4 The volume of sphere, Vsphere - з арз TR3 R 20 V R L L ti (a) (b)
